[The effect of UV-radiation on the sensory and nociceptive sensitivity of the skin of hairless mice].

Abstract

The effect of UV-radiation of 12.17 and 3.27 W/m2 (with the dose rate = 23.19 kJ/m2) on the sensory and nociceptive sensitivity of the skin of nude mice was investigated in two experimental series. It was found that the pattern of changes in the sensory and nociceptive sensitivity of the skin were not correlated with UV-radiation intensity, the dose rate being the same. However, the changes were more significant, manifested earlier and disappeared later during irradiation with UV-rays of 12.17 W/m2 than with UV-rays of 3.27 W/m2.
