Exposure to sunlight can result in a number of harmful effects, including sunburn, erythema, premature aging of the skin, immune suppression and skin cancer. Studies designed to understand the underlying mechanisms often depend upon the use of artificial sources of UV radiation. Unfortunately,
The Philips TL01 narrow-band (311-313 nm) fluorescent lamp provides effective phototherapy for psoriasis and atopic eczema while emitting less erythemogenic radiation than conventional broad-band (e.g. Philips TL12; 270-350 nm) sources. We studied the potency of TL01 and TL12 radiation to induce
The immunological consequences of exposure to UVA (320-400 nm) radiation are unclear. This study describes the relationship between the generation of epidermal cis-urocanic acid and the ability to respond to a contact-sensitizing agent, in hairless mice exposed to different UV radiation sources,
A series of experimental sunscreen preparations based on a common vehicle, containing increasing concentrations of either octyl-N-dimethyl-p-aminobenzoate (o-PABA) or 2-ethylhexyl-p-methoxycinnamate (2-EHMC) as the ultraviolet B (UVB) absorber, has been tested in the hairless mouse for the ability
Isoflavones derived from many edible plants have been reported to possess significant antioxidant, estrogenic and tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity. Genistein has been found previously to provide protection from oxidative damage induced by UV radiation both in vitro and following dietary
Pycnogenol is a standardized extract of the bark of the French maritime pine, Pinus pinaster Ait., that has multiple biological effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties. This study describes the effect of topical application of lotions containing Pycnogenol
