title: Correlation between UVA-induced changes in microviscosity, permeability and malondialdehyde formation in liposomal membrane.
abstract: The lipid peroxidation, 14C-glucose leakage and microviscosity of liposomal membrane increased linearly with increasing UVA fluence. A positive and highly significant correlation was found between these properties of the UVA-exposed liposomal membrane. The possible involvement of singlet oxygen in the UVA-induced damage of liposomal membrane is discussed.
