UVB stimulates the systemic HPA axis in C57BL/6 mice.

UVB stimulated expression of gene coding MC2R (a), StAR (b) and CYP11B1 (c) in C57Bl/6 adrenals. Data are presented as fold changes ± SD. UVB enhanced plasma concentrations of CRH (d), Ucn (e), ACTH (f), β-END (g), and CORT (h). Data are presented as pg or ng/mL after appropriate dilutions were performed separately for each assay and analyzed using t-test, * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, and *** p<0.001.
