  • Title: [Alpha-tocopherol inhibition of erythema in skin photosensitized by 8-methoxypsoralen].
    Author: Potapenko AIa, Abiev GA, Pliquett F.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1980 May; 89(5):560-3. PubMed ID: 7397338.
    Abstract:
    Irradiation of the rabbit and human skin by near UV light (wave lengths greater than 320 nm) in the presence of 8-methoxypsoralen produced erythema, pigmentation and some changes in the mechanical and electric properties. All the photobiological effects mentioned were inhibited by alpha-tocopherol if it was applied before irradiation. When applied after exposure to irradiation alpha-tocopherol appeared to be ineffective.
