Dark cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers are formed in the epidermis of Fitzpatrick skin types I/II and VI in vivo after exposure to solar‐simulated radiation
26 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Unlike "light" cylobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) formed during ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure, dark CPD (dCPD) are formed afterwards. Studies have attributed this to delayed melanin sensitization. There are no data on the role of melanin in dCPD formation in human skin. METHODS AND RESULTS: Volunteers of Fitzpatrick skin types (FST I/II vs. VI) were exposed to erythemally equivalent doses of...
