Background: Urinary biopyrrin (UBP) is an oxidative metabolite formed from the reaction of bilirubin with reactive oxygen species. Previous studies have explored the relationship between UBP levels and certain diseases or pregnancy. However, UBP levels in healthy nonpregnant women have not been well examined.

Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that oxidative stress is involved in the inflammatory process of atopic dermatitis (AD). Biopyrrins are the end products of the oxidative reaction of bilirubin with reactive oxygen species. The aim of our study was to explore the correlation between urinary biopyrrin levels and AD severity as well as to assess the possible modification of them in AD patients during biologic therapy with human monoclonal antibody dupilumab.

Sleep Deprivation Increases Facial Skin Yellowness.

J Clin Med

January 2023

The Procter & Gamble Company, Mason Business Center, 8700 Mason Montgomery Road, Mason, OH 45040, USA.

Sleep shortage is a major concern in modern life and induces various psycho-physical disorders, including skin problems. In cosmeceutics, females are aware that sleep deprivation worsens their facial skin tone. Here, we measured the effects of sleep deprivation on facial skin yellowness and examined yellow chromophores, such as bilirubin and carotenoids, in blood serum as potential causes of yellowness.

Objectives: The aims of the study are to measure the prevalence and level of occupational stress (OS) and to explore its association with oxidative stress among some brickfield workers.

Methods: Eighty-six brickfield workers and 90 administrative controls were assessed using the Arabic validated version of the Occupational Stress Index. The urinary levels of oxidative biomarkers; 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and biopyrrins were also measured.

Biopyrrin Pigments: From Heme Metabolites to Redox-Active Ligands and Luminescent Radicals.

Acc Chem Res

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, The University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721-0041, United States.

Redox-active ligands in coordination chemistry not only modulate the reactivity of the bound metal center but also serve as electron reservoirs to store redox equivalents. Among many applications in contemporary chemistry, the scope of redox-active ligands in biology is exemplified by the porphyrin radicals in the catalytic cycles of multiple heme enzymes (e.g.
