Induced melanin reduces mutations and cell killing in mouse melanoma.

Photochemistry and photobiology - 1 Mar 1997

Li W, Hill H Z

Abstract excerpt

When melanin absorbs light energy, it can produce potentially damaging active oxygen species. There is little doubt that constitutive pigment in dark-skinned individuals is photoprotective against skin cancer, but induced pigment-as in tanning-may not be. The first step in cancer induction is mut...
