The guinea pigs were dermally exposed to paraphenylenediamine (PPD) and in presence of an oxidising agent hydrogen peroxide for 15 and 30 d to assess their effects on some enzymes, lipid peroxidation and histamine contents in the skin. The activities of acid and alkaline phosphatases, beta-glucuronidase, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase, histidase and tyrosinase were enhanced after application of either PPD or PPD plus hydrogen peroxide. The lipid peroxidation and histamine contents also showed marked elevation following exposure to the chemicals.

The skins of guinea pigs were exposed to 50 mg/kg hexachlorophene (HCP) for 7, 15 or 30 days. The activities of skin marker enzymes (beta-glucuronidase, histidase, tyrosinase) increased, but glutathione decreased. Lipid peroxidation and histamine contents increased during different time intervals. The histopathological changes showed damage to epidermis and dermis. Depending on the duration of exposure, HCP produces biochemical and histopathological damage to skin.
