Protein Anti-cancer II

protein anticancer According to investigators, that p53 participate in this process was a possibility. When scientists examined the gene for POMC that promotes production of the protein, they discovered that corresponded to p53, suggesting that when p53 fit into this location was accelerating the production of POMC. Furthermore, when the researchers exposed human and animal keratinocytes to ultraviolet radiation, after six hours, the levels of both POMC and p53 were much higher than normal and alpha-MSH were higher by 30 times than usual.

Subsequent studies provided further data on the involvement of p53 in the darkening of the skin. When the researchers included p53 in keratinocytes, POMC levels rose prominently. In addition, when using ultraviolet radiation in keratinocytes lacked p53, POMC production was not produced and the skin do not tan. (more…)

The best known anti-cancer protein also promotes tanning

The protein not only protects against skin damage by activating the dimming, but also produces endorphins that may be associated with feelings of pleasure in sunbathing.

protein anticancer A protein known for its anticancer function, the protein p53, also promotes skin tanning in response to ultraviolet light received from the sun, a mechanism that appears to inhibit the development of melanoma, the type most common skin cancer, according to a Cancer Institute study of the Dana-Farber in Boston (USA). The research findings, published in the journal Cell.

Too much sun is harmful

Did you know that a few serious sunburns can increase the risk of your child from getting skin cancer in adulthood? Children do not need to be in the pool on the beach or on vacation to get too much sun. The skin of children must be protected from harmful ultraviolet (UV) when children are outdoors.

“Coloradito? In just 15 minutes, unprotected skin can suffer damage from UV rays. However, it may take up to twelve hours to fully notice the effects of sun exposure. So if today your child’s skin is noticed “something red”, tomorrow morning could be burned. To prevent your child is still burning, resguárdelo the sun.

“Tanning? The truth is that tanned skin is damaged skin. Any change in the color of the skin after being outdoors, whether sunburn or suntan is a sign of damage caused by UV rays.

Data on sunscreens

Sunscreens are easy to use but do not fully protect your child’s skin. Try to combine the use of sunscreen with some of the other options above to avoid any damage caused by UV rays.

Sunscreen comes in several forms: creams, sprays, towels impregnated or gel. Be sure to choose one made especially for children that contains:

* A sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or more.
* Protection from UVA and UVB rays.

To enjoy maximum protection, give the child plenty of sunscreen thirty minutes before going outdoors. And do not forget to apply the filter in the ears, nose, lips and on top of the feet, as they often tend to forget these areas.

Do not forget your sunscreen to reapply during the day, particularly after the child swim or exercise. This includes products “waterproof” and “waterproof.”
