The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.We are looking to see if antioxidants decrease the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in the skin by UV.

We are interested to see if antioxidants applied to the skin surface can reduce the number of ROS that are generated deeper in the epidermis.
