Plasma Lipoproteins as Mediators of the Oxidative Stress Induced by UV Light in Human Skin: A Review of Biochemical and Biophysical Studies on Mechanisms of Apolipoprotein Alteration, Lipid Peroxidation, and Associated Skin Cell Responses

Figure 1

TBARS production as a function of the initial rate of Trp photolysis. TBARS expressed in nmol/mg of protein and the Trp photolysis initial rate expressed in nM/s have been determined with air-saturated pH 7 buffered solutions of HDL at concentrations up to 1 μM. The incident UVB light dose in these experiments was 6.7 J/min. Drawn from data in [14].
