68 The importance of ZO-1 in TJ stability is illustrated by research showing that barrier stringency is compromised when ZO-1 expression is reduced or dissociated from membrane proteins
Patients with vitiligo have been found to have not only significantly increased average levels of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in their skin lesions, but also significantly lower measured activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase than in the control group, as well as significantly increased levels of malondialdehyde [9, 15, 16]
