Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on the cell aging and hypoxanthine-phosphoribosyl-transferase (HPRT) gene mutation frequency induced by long-term ultraviolet (UV) A and UVB irradiation in human skin fibroblasts (HSF). METHODS: HSF were separated from infant foreskin, cultured, and divided into six groups: control, EGCG group (treated by 25 microg/ml EGCG), UVA group...
