Temperature Effects on Melanin Synthesis by Alaa Kubiasy is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. The study investigated the effects of temperature on melanin synthesis in mouse and human melanocytes. 2. It found that melanocytes cultured at lower temperatures (31°C and 34°C) produced less melanin and had lower tyrosinase activity than cells cultured at 37°C. 3. Prolonged exposure to lower temperatures over days had a greater inhibitory effect on melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity than brief exposures, suggesting temperature and duration of exposure regulate melanogenesis.
