Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that systemic psoralen plus ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy may have a stimulatory effect on melanocytes, not only locally but also systemically. Aim. We aimed to assess endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potent melanocyte mitogen, in plasma of PUVA-treated paients with vitiligo.
