Solar Energy Absorbing Substances And Oxidative Stress And Inflammatory Diseases

Download or read book Solar-Energy-Absorbing Substances and Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Diseases written by C. Thomas Gnewuch and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores various topics relevant to understanding the complexities of biological effects generated by solar radiation. Solar-energy-absorbing substances are evaluated, including sunscreen agents, and their influence on cancers and diseases. One assumption is the use of sunscreen agents cannot prevent the photoinitiation of biological system malfunction, such as immunosuppression. On the contrary, sunscreens can help enhance the negative solar-energy-induced effects, such as by skin penetration. This collection offers critical appraisals of clinical studies involving vitamins and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents for alleviating, mitigating, or even curing of various inflammatory diseases including cancers.
