1. Hexobarbital (100 mg/kg i.p.) sleeping times in male CD-1 mice pretreated (-1 h) with a single i.p. injection of 150 mumol/kg of psoralen or coumarin analogues were increased, most markedly (6-fold) by linear, methoxy-substituted psoralens. 2. Hexobarbital sleeping times of mice which received
Because of concern about psoralen-induced phototoxicity and photocarcinogenesis, we investigated the effects of dietary lipids in a mouse model in which 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and UVA (PUVA) therapy has been shown to be carcinogenic. SKH-Hr-1 hairless albino mice were fed diets containing either
The purpose of this study was to examine the dose response and time course relationships between PUVA (psoralen + UVA) depletion of skin glutathione (GSH) and the induction of inflammation. Dorsal skin fold thickness (DSFT), an index of cutaneous edema, was used as a noninvasive measure of
Scientists at the National Toxicology Program are studying the toxicologic properties of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) with and without 320-400 nm UV (UVA). The combination of psoralen and UVA is a promising treatment for psoriasis. In this study, 8-MOP was administered to male and female Fischer 344
