鈥 The first quantitative measurements of the wavelength dependence of oxygen consumption in systems containing eumelanin (from bovine eyes) and synthetic DOPA melanin are reported. Consumption of oxygen (considered to be a requirement for immediate pigment darkening) during irradiation of melanins ...

This black insoluble pigment of human skin, hair, eyes and nigral neurons (neuromelanin) , featuring unique assortment of chemical physical properties , arises biogenetically from the aminoacid tyrosine via the oxidative polymerization of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) and/or 5,6- dihydroxyindole-2-...
Two subtypes of melanins have been identified, occurring in various amounts in skin and hair. The black to brown eumelanin is found predominantly in dark hair and eyes as well as in the skin of dark-haired subjects. The yellow-reddish pheomelanin mainly occurs in the hair and skin of ...
We previously demonstrated that a novel mutation, characterized by light-colored coats and ruby eyes, which occurred spontaneously in mice in our laboratory, exhibited deletion in the Hps5 gene (ru2(d)/Hps5(ru2-d)). To clarify the mechanism of this hypopigmentation, the characteristics of ...
had a very low EM/PM ratio (0.41), which was very significantly lower than that from normal melanocytes isolated both from eyes with light-colored irides (1.31) or dark-colored irides (7.32). The low EM/PM ratio was caused by a low level of EM in , which was only 1/8 and 1/31 ...
Eumelanin is a type of melanin that is a naturally occurring polymer found in living organisms, responsible for pigmentation in skin, hair, and eyes, as well as providing protection against harmful solar radiation and carrying out essential functions in the brain and other organs. ...
