Mangosteen leaf extract increases melanogenesis in B16F1 melanoma cells by stimulating tyrosine activity in vitro and by up-regulating tyrosine gene expression
Melanin synthesis is stimulated by various effectors, including α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), cyclic AMP (cAMP)-elevating agents (forskolin, isobutylmethylxantine, glycyrrhizin) and ultraviolet light. Our investigation focused on the identification of the melanogenic efficacy of mangoste...
