Abstract

Ultraviolet irradiation is capable of affecting skin surface lipids, especially squalene and cholesterol, both in vitro and in vivo, with generation of active lipoperoxides. The photodecomposition of the skin lipid component was carefully evaluated by capillary gas-chromatography. The effects of UV-induced lipoperoxides on human keratinocytes in culture and on guinea pig ear slices were compared with those of synthetic lipoperoxides, i.e. cumene hydroperoxide and 13-hydroperoxylinoleate. A time- and dose-dependent effect on protein synthesis and mitotic activity was observed. In cell culture low concentrations (0.05-5 micrograms/ml) of peroxidated squalene and synthetic lipoperoxides stimulated the incorporation of radiolabelled thymidine and phenylalanine, while higher concentrations (greater than 10 micrograms/ml), or longer periods of treatment, induced cellular damage. In guinea pig ear slices, the lipoperoxides (5-50 micrograms/ml) increased aminoacid incorporation and the number of epidermal pigment cells; higher concentrations (greater than 100 micrograms/ml) caused a derangement of epidermal structure. The results suggest that UV irradiation of skin generates lipoperoxides from the surface lipids which, in vitro, are capable of producing a number of changes in epidermal cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
