HOLLANDS BARCA, Ileana Esperanza; GOMEZ-BARRY, Hilario  and  MIYARES CAO, Carlos Manuel. Modelo biológico para evaluar la acción fotoprotectora de un extracto de cordón umbilical humano. Rev Cubana Farm [online]. 2003, vol.37, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2988.

It was demonstrated by macroscopic and histological observation that the topical application of an extract from human umbilical cord in the form of gel may protect the skin of Balb/C albine mice from the harmful effect produced by their exposore to an artificial source of ultraviolet radiations. The results were compared with those obtained with a US photoprotector and the possibilities to use this biological model to evaluate products with photoprotective action were discussed.

Keywords : UMBILICAL CORD; ADMINISTRATION, TOPICAL, GELS; RADIATION-PROTECTIVE AGENTS; MICE, INBRED BALBC.
