The role of IL-1beta in the regulation of IL-8 and IL-6 in human corneal epithelial cells during Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization.

abstract：PURPOSE:Pigmentation of the iris is caused by varying amounts of melanin pigment granula in a constant number of melanocytes in the superficial stroma. Melanin has been shown to act as antioxidant. We have now investigated lipid peroxidation in dependence on stromal pigmentation in isolated porcine irises. METHODS:The...
