Studies on Plasma Soluble Fluorescent Melanins.
Abstract
Plasma soluble fluroescent compounds termed rheomelanins have been isolated using paper chromatography. The fluorescent characteristic of these compounds ally them with tissue lipofuscins. Chemical composition studies using modified tissue lipofuscin histochemical tests were conducted. In addition, protein and lipid determination tests were done. All of these tests seem to indicate a strong relationship with the lipofuscins. Further experiments and investigations on the structure and content of these compounds are necessary. (Author)
