## Abstract ## Background and Objective Aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA‐PDT) depends on drug metabolism into porphyrins. Clinically, ALA‐PDT has been used with a wide range of protocols for treating both epidermal and dermal targets, despite limited understanding of porphyrin biodist
## Abstract Mitochondrial oxygen tension can be measured in vivo by means of oxygen‐dependent quenching of delayed fluorescence of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). Here we demonstrate that delayed fluorescence is readily observed from skin in rat and man after topical application of the PpIX precursor 5‐a
