The purpose of this investigation was to compare the permeation characteristics of two different compounds (extremely polar and nonpolar), i.e., tritium-labeled water (W) and 14C-labeled 7-hydroxycoumarin (7-OHC), among 16 different species, including human skin. Snake skin exhibited highest permeability for both W and 7-OHC. Permeability and lag time values of W and 7-OHC across Brattleboro rat and hairless guinea pig are very close to human skin. Skin thickness in micrometers (full thickness, epidermis and stratum corneum, and stratum corneum), and number of hair follicles present in each cm2 were determined for each species. There was no relationship between number of hair follicles and permeability values for both W and 7-OHC. The skin thickness (full) was related to the relative permeability values of W, whereas for 7-OHC it was not.

Ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation alters multiple molecular pathways in the skin, thereby inducing skin damage. Human dermal fibroblasts (HDFa) were subjected to single UVB-irradiation (18mJ/cm(2)) resulting in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, oxidative DNA damage and upregulation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) expression. Further, it has been observed that there was a significant cytokine production (TNF-α and IL-6) in UVB irradiated HDFa cells.

Background: Resistance to insecticides has been related to application history, genetic factors of the pest and the dynamic within the treated area. The aim of this study was to assess the geographic variation in azinphos-methyl response and the role of esterase and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase enzymes in codling moth populations collected within different areas of the Río Negro and Neuquén Valley, Argentina.
Results: Diapausing field-collected populations showed resistance ratios at the LC(50) that were 0.

Objective: To investigate whether the antimalarial drug artemisinin affects CYP2A6 activity in healthy subjects and to compare the utility of coumarin and nicotine as in vivo probe compounds for CYP2A6.
Methods: Twelve healthy male Vietnamese subjects were given coumarin or nicotine in randomized sequence before and after 5 days of a repeated oral administration of artemisinin during two different treatment periods 1 month apart. Sequential blood samples were drawn at baseline 7 days prior to artemisinin treatment and on the first and fifth day of artemisinin treatment during both treatment periods.
