In this work, we found that extracellular release of H2O2 is 1.5- to 6-fold higher in skin human diploid fibroblasts exposed to UVB in conditions inducing premature senescence when compared to control cells without exposure to UVB. The apparent decrease in H2O2 production from 0 to 72 h after the last exposure to UVB was not due to increased enzymatic activity of catalase or glutathione peroxidase.
