Tyrosol and its analogues inhibit alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone induced melanogenesis.

Int. J. Mol. Sci. 14 , 23420-40, (2013)

Melanin is responsible for skin color and plays a major role in defending against harmful external factors such as ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Tyrosinase is responsible for the critical steps of melanogenesis, including the rate-limiting step of tyrosine hy...

Measurement of adducts of benzoquinone with hemoglobin and albumin.

Carcinogenesis 14(9) , 1927-32, (1993)

Benzoquinones (BQ) are genotoxic species that stem from metabolism of phenolic compounds. We have developed a method for measuring adducts of 1,2- and 1,4-benzoquinone (1,2-BQ and 1,4-BQ) with cysteine residues of hemoglobin (Hb) and albumin (Alb). The method...
