The role of ultraviolet radiation and tyrosine stimulated melanogenesis in the induction of oxidative stress alterations in fair skin melanocytes

Melanocytes are producing melanin after UV irradiation as a defense mechanism. However, UV-induced damage is involved in melanoma initiation, depending on skin phototype. Melanocytes seem to be extremely susceptible to free radicals. Their main enzymatic antioxidants are superoxide dismutase and cat...
