Despite the benefits of sunscreens, ultraviolet (UV) exposure can still lead to skin cancer. In this study we investigated the effect of topical application of the antioxidant vitamin E acetate (VEA) on the inhibition of UV-induced carcinogenesis. Hairless SKH-1 mice received 5.2 mg of VEA 30 min be

## Abstract Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is the primary environmental insult responsible for the development of most common skin cancers. To better understand the multiple molecular events that contribute to the development of UVβinduced skin cancer, in a first study, serial analysis of gene expres
The protective action of the natural d-tocopherols d-p, d-y and d-6tocopherol against the damaging effects of light was studied, and compared with that of d-a-tocopherol. The tests were carried out on hairless mice. The extent of edema formation caused by exposure to UV-light was measured as a param
