Phospholipids and the Reaction of Skin to Ultra-Violet Radiation

Abstract

INVESTIGATIONS are being carried out in these laboratories into the primary photochemical changes in skin caused by ultra-violet irradiation. In the course of this work it was shown that the concentration of phospholipids in mouse skin was significantly decreased following prolonged in vitro irradiation at −20° C.1–3.
