Abstract
The mechanism for the formation of active oxygen species and their reactions with antioxidants is described. The importance of the free radical chain oxidation and the singlet oxygen-dependent oxidation is suggested by a decrease in skin levels of alpha-tocopherol, ubiquinol-10, and ascorbic acid with a concomitant formation of lipid hydroperoxides during UV irradiation of murine skin, and the formation of squalene hydroperoxides in human skin upon UV exposure, respectively.Entities:
