As phototoxic skin reactions caused by psoralen are induced by wavelengths within the UVA1 spectrum, we assessed the potential of the small amount of psoralen in a normal diet to provoke phototoxicity in volunteers with skin types I and II. Threshold erythema was unaffected by ingestion of a 200-g portion of parsnip.

A total of 11 active ingredients including psoralen, isopsoralen, bakuchiol, bavachalcone, bavachinin, corylin, coryfolin, isobavachalcone, neobavaisoflavone, bakuchalcone, and corylifol A from Psoraleae Fructus in the plasma samples of diabetic and normal rats were simultaneously determined by UHPLC-MS/MS. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated to elucidate the pharmacokinetic profiles of coumarins, flavonoids, and monoterpene phenols in normal and diabetic rats. The rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) was induced by a high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with injection of 1% streptozotocin every two days.

Article Synopsis
- Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a big problem for people with diabetes, causing harmful changes in their kidneys because of high blood sugar.
- A natural compound called Imperatorin (IMP) might help because it can reduce damage and inflammation in kidney cells.
- In tests on kidney cells and mice with DN, IMP improved kidney health and reduced harmful changes, suggesting it could be a good treatment for DN.

Epidemiological studies have found that high citrus fruit consumption was associated with higher risk of skin cancer. Citrus fruits and some vegetables contain furocoumarins, which may interact with ultraviolet radiation to induce skin cancer. We aimed to determine the effects of two furocoumarins, including 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and 6',7'-dihydroxybergamottin (DHB), on UVA-induced DNA damage in human epidermal melanocytes, the origin of melanoma.

The aim of this research was to determine oxygen heterocyclic compounds in twenty-six - and cinnamon-flavoured foods using supercritical fluid chromatography in combination with triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry (SFC-QqQ-MS). According to the authors' knowledge, this is the first report on the determination of these molecules in foods by means of the SFC-QqQ-MS technique. The analytical technique normally used for their determination in foods is liquid chromatography coupled with a photodiode array detector.
