Serum antioxidant capacity in polymorphic light eruption.Guarrera M,

Polymorphic light eruption is one of the few dermatological diseases
in which some antioxidants have been said to be reduced in both the
epidermis and the blood. This study measured the hydrosoluble
antioxidant capacity in the serum of patients with polymorphic light
eruption, using a commercially available kit. All patients were tested
in winter, in order to avoid the influence of exposure to ultraviolet
light. The results showed that a hydrosoluble antioxidant capacity was
significantly decreased (by 29%) in patients with polymorphic light
eruption, and b) that females (both patients and controls) has less
hydrosoluble antioxidant capacity (by 27%) than males. In addition,
the hydrosoluble antioxidant capacity values for females with
polymorphic light eruption increased significantly with age, possibly
accounting for the well-known propensity of young women to polymorphic
light eruption. These last observations have not been reported
previously.
