ULTRAVIOLET B RADIATION UPREGULATES THE PRODUCTION OF MACROPHAGE MIGRATION INHIBITORY FACTOR (MIF) IN HUMAN EPIDERMAL KERATINOCYTES.
Human epidermal cells are capable of secreting various cytokines with immunologic, inflammatory, and proliferative properties. In a previous study, by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical analysis, we have shown that human epidermal keratinocytes express macrophage migration inhibitory factor and...

AVOCADO PHYTOSTEROLS DECREASE UVB-INDUCED PRO-INFLAMMATORY MEDIATORS.
Exposure of skin to UVB radiation can cause the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and prostanoids. Changes in the production of these mediators in the skin can decrease or increase the potentially damaging effects of UVB irradiation. In this series of... Read More
