Rhododenol-induced leukoderma in a mouse model mimicking Japanese skin

Highlights • We successfully developed a mouse model of Rhododenol-induced leukoderma. • Histological examination indicated a loss of epidermal melanocytes at Day 7. • The melanocyte number did not decrease in albino mice without tyrosinase activity. • Biochemical analyses showed that metabolites of...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We successfully developed a mouse model of Rhododenol-induced leukoderma. • Histological examination indicated a loss of epidermal melanocytes at Day 7. • The melanocyte number did not decrease in albino mice without tyrosinase activity. • Biochemical analyses showed that metabolites of Rhododenol-quinone. • Electron microscopic analyses revealed autophagy and ER expansion in the melanocyte.
