Lead-induced apoptosis in PC 12 cells: involvement of p53, Bcl-2 family and caspase-3.

abstract：:This study involved an attempt to establish a new photosafety screening system for dermally-applied chemicals consisting of a reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay and an in vitro skin permeation test. The ROS assay was undertaken to evaluate photoreactivity of six test compounds, acridine (ACD), furosemide (FSM), hexac...
