Studies on rheomelanins. VI. The apparent lipofuscin characteristics of rheomelanins.
The positive histochemical tests obtained on rheomelanins indicate a relationship with tissue lipofuscins, which are also melanins in part. In addition chemical analysis indicates that the rheomelanins contain protein and lipid just as lipofuscins do. Fluorescence exhibited by the rheomelanins also seems to ally them to the lipofuscins.
