UVA irradiation of human skin vasodilates arterial vasculature and lowers blood pressure independently of nitric oxide synthase
The incidence of hypertension and cardiovascular disease correlates with latitude and rises in winter. The molecular basis for this remains obscure. As nitric oxide (NO) metabolites are abundant in human skin we hypothesised that exposure to UVA may mobilise NO bioactivity into the circulation to ex...
