摘要：
Ultraviolet light radiation (UVR) has profound effects upon human skin. Yet, the exact targets for UVR are unclear. inasmuch as UVR is a known pro-oxidative stressor, one potential target for UVR could be oxidatively modified glycerophosphocholines (GPC). importantly, recent studies demonstrate that these oxidized GPCs (ox-GPC) are potent agonists for the platelet-activating factor receptor and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma. This review discusses these new biologically active lipids and their down-stream receptor targets that provide a unique system of biosensors for detecting and responding to UVR photo-oxidation.
