1 Tranexamic acid suppresses ultraviolet B eye irradiation-induced melanocyte activation by decreasing the levels of prohormone convertase 2 and alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Tranexamic Acid proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens
2 The plasma alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) content was increased by UVB irradiation of the eye; however, the increase in alpha-MSH was suppressed by tranexamic acid treatment. Tranexamic Acid proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens
3 The plasma alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) content was increased by UVB irradiation of the eye; however, the increase in alpha-MSH was suppressed by tranexamic acid treatment. Tranexamic Acid proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSIONS: These results clearly indicate that tranexamic acid decreases the expression of PC2, which cleavages from proopiomelanocortin to alpha-MSH in the pituitary gland, thereby suppressing melanocyte activation. Tranexamic Acid proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens
