ABSTRACT
The effect of acute UVB on the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the skin and the induction of ROS scavenging enzymes in situ was examined. Lipid peroxide levels and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and D-glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-P-D) were determined in the skin, serum, and liver of ICR mice subjected to 1400 mJ/cm2 of acute UVB irradiation. In irradiated skin, lipid peroxides were increased at 3 and 24 hr after irradiation, whereas the four ROS scavenging enzymes were generally decreased during the first 48 hr after irradiation. In the serum, lipid peroxides showed an increase at 3 hr, but enzyme activities remained negligible. In the liver, lipid peroxides showed similar behaviour to that in skin. GSH-Px activity in the liver was decreased during the first 24 hr, whereas G-6-P-D showed substantial fluctuation and SOD and catalase activities showed no change. These data are consistent with a model in which lipid peroxides generated in the UVB-irradiated lesions are transported to the liver and there metabolized by the scavenging enzymes induced in situ.
