A commercially available light emitting diode (LED) that transmitted narrow band ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation was evaluated for its efficacy and efficiency to produce vitamin D in human skin.
Human skin samples were obtained from surgical procedures. The LED had peak emission wavelength of 295 nm. Skin samples were exposed to the UVB-LED for varying times and then were analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) to determine the vitamin D content.
There was a statistically significant time- and dose-dependent increase in the percent of 7-dehydrocholesterol that was converted to vitamin D in the skin type II samples; 1.3%±0.5, 2.3%±0.6 and 4.5%±1.67 after exposure to 0.75 (11.7 mJ/cm), 1.5 (23.4 mJ/cm) and 3 (46.8 mJ/cm) minimal erythemal doses (MEDs), respectively.
The UVB-LED was effective and efficient in generating vitamin D in human skin, in vitro. The amount of vitamin D production increased in a dose-dependent fashion with increased UVB energy. UVB-LEDs can be developed for devices that can efficiently produce vitamin D in human skin.
评估一种市售的窄带发射紫外线 B(UVB)辐射的发光二极管(LED)在人类皮肤中产生维生素 D 的功效和效率。
从手术过程中获得人类皮肤样本。LED 的峰值发射波长为 295nm。将皮肤样本暴露于 UVB-LED 下不同时间,然后通过高压液相色谱(HPLC)进行分析,以确定维生素 D 的含量。
在 II 型皮肤样本中,7-脱氢胆固醇转化为维生素 D 的百分比随时间和剂量呈显著的依赖性增加;分别暴露于 0.75(11.7mJ/cm)、1.5(23.4mJ/cm)和 3(46.8mJ/cm)最小红斑剂量(MED)后,为 1.3%±0.5、2.3%±0.6 和 4.5%±1.67。
UVB-LED 在体外有效且高效地在人类皮肤中产生维生素 D。随着 UVB 能量的增加,维生素 D 的产生量呈剂量依赖性增加。可以开发 UVB-LED 设备,以有效地在人类皮肤中产生维生素 D。
