Rat liver submitochondrial particles were treated with rose bengal or
flavin mononucleotide and irradiated with visible or near UV light. In
both cases, oxygen consumption is impaired after irradiation while O-
2(.-) production increases significantly. This suggests that exogenous
or endogenous photosensitizers can induce more electron leakage in th
e mitochondrial respiratory chain. Photobiological implications in der
matology are discussed.
