Suppression of melanogenesis by induction of endogenous intracellular metallothionein in human melanocytes.

abstract：:The potential of an anti-inflammatory peptide (antiflammin 1) to reduce irritation when delivered transdermally by iontophoresis was examined. A model drug irritant, chlorpromazine, was co-delivered with and without antiflammin 1 by iontophoresis to hairless guinea pigs transdermally. Quantitative skin irritation meas...
