Factors influencing methoxsalen phototoxicity in vitiliginous skin.

A series of experiments were conducted to determine the optimum conditions required to induce methoxsalen phototoxicity in vitiliginous skin. The results revealed that optimum phototoxicity could be obtained only when a lapse of at least 15 minutes was allowed between the application of the drug and exposure to long-wave ultraviolet light (UVA). The duration of methoxsalen's phototoxic potentially, after its application to skin, varied in direct proportion to chemical concentration. Although a high chemical concentration and low dosage of UVA was a less time-consuming method of inducing phototoxicity, our results indicate that lower concentration and longer UVA exposure were less likely to induce undersirable blistering reactions.

Variability in structural carbohydrates and in vitro digestibility of forages. 3. Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba).

Thirteen genotypes of guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) were compared with the local variety for structural carbohydrates and in vitro digestibility. Neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, lignin, and acid insoluble ash varied 31.2 to 44.4, 26.1 to 37.4, 6.8 to 11.1, and .30 to 1.11%. Cellulose varied from 16.6 to 28.1% whereas hemicellulose content ranged between 3.6 and 9.2%. In vitro digestibility of dry matter ranged between 62.8 to 71.2% Variation in protein, mineral matter, and percentage of dry matter was from 12.7 to 19.7, 9.4 to 12.3, and 23.0 to 26.7. Neutral detergent fiber and lignin plus silica were correlated negatively with in vitro digestibility of dry matter. A genetic manipulation of breeding material can bring about a highly nutritive genotype of guar.
