Urocanic acid isomers in human skin: analysis of site variation.
Urocanic acid (UCA) is found in the stratum corneum as the trans-isomer and, on ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, photoisomerization into cis-UCA takes place. Cis-UCA has been suggested to play a part in UV-induced immunosuppression. In the present study, the concentration of UCA and the percentage as cis-UCA at 10 different body sites of 20 normal volunteers were analysed. A large interindividual ...
متن کاملSome photophysical studies of cis- and trans-urocanic acid.
Urocanic acid, an important human skin chromophore, undergoes a variety of photochemical transformations when exposed to the near-UV portion of sunlight and natural daylight, the principal reaction being the transformation from the stable trans- or (E)-form of the chromophore (trans-UA) to the biologically active cis- or (Z)-form (cis-UA), which is claimed to induce immunosuppression linked to ...
متن کاملIonization spectroscopy of conformational isomers of propanal: the origin of the conformational preference.
Two different conformational isomers of propanal, cis and gauche, are investigated by the vacuum-UV mass-analyzed threshold ionization (VUV-MATI) spectroscopy to give accurate adiabatic ionization potentials of 9.9997 +/- 0.0006 eV and 9.9516 +/- 0.0006 eV, respectively. cis-Propanal, which is the more stable conformer in the neutral state, becomes less stable in the cation compared to gauche-p...
متن کاملActivation of retinoic acid receptor-dependent transcription by all-trans-retinoic acid metabolites and isomers.
We have shown that four metabolites of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) (4-oxo-, 4-OH-, 18-OH-, and 5,6-epoxy-RA) can induce maturation of NB4 promyelocytic leukemia cells (Idres, N., Benoit, G., Flexor, M. A., Lanotte, M., and Chabot, G. G. (2001) Cancer Res. 61, 700-705). To better understand the mechanism of action of ATRA metabolites and isomers, we assessed their binding to retinoic acid rec...
متن کاملMicrobial biohydrogenation of oleic acid to trans isomers in vitro.
Ruminant products are significant sources of dietary trans fatty acids. Trans fatty acids, including various conjugated linoleic acid isomers, have been shown to act as metabolic modifiers of lipid metabolism. Trans fatty acids originate from biohydrogenation of dietary unsaturated fatty acids by gut microbes; however, the exact synthetic pathways are unclear. It was our goal to examine the bio...
