Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma Incidences Analyzed Worldwide by Skin Type over Advancing Age of Males and Females: Evidence Estrogen and Androgenic Hair are Risk Factors [PDF]
, 2017 We previously analyzed cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) incidences worldwide by sex, age, and Fitzpatrick skin type over time (1955-2007) and found only European-ancestry populations have exponential increasing incidences and about a 2-log increase in ...

DEPIGMENTING AGENT MELANOTOKSIK PADA PENGOBATAN MELASMA
Medical and Health Science Journal, 2018 : Human skin color is determined by melanin pigment,either eumelanin or feomelanin. Melanogenesis is a melanin synthesized process that is initiated with tirosin oxidation to DOPAquinone by tirosinase, and then auto-oxidation to DOPA and DOPAchrome ...

Pheomelanin in the skin of Hymenochirus boettgeri (Amphibia: Anura: Pipidae)
Experimental Dermatology, 2012 AbstractPheomelanin is supposed to be the first type of melanin found in vertebrates, in contrast to the main type – eumelanin. Our study aimed at detecting pheomelanin in the skin of Hymenochirus boettgerii. We employed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), supplemented with standard histology ...
