Ultraweak photon emission of human skin in vivo: Influence of topically applied antioxidants on human skin

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the method to detect ultraweak photon emission (UPE) of human skin in vivo. The monitoring UPE directly on has advantages being noninvasive and providing continuous convenient monitoring. effect topical application a-tocopherol B-carotene was also determined this study. detection provides a useful technique vivo determine peroxidative events efficacy topically applied antioxidants skin. To record emissions from volunteers vivo, instruments have be adapted special applications. It is necessary replace small sample compartments keep distance between photocathode surface as short possible. Avoidance light external sources necessary. entire detector head installed rooms without phosphorescent walls, surfaces, lamps, it should freely movable. Irrespective theoretical considerations whether some kind physical or biochemical phenomena may occurring, an organ designed for protection against noxious materials environment indicator free-radical metabolism.
