        "content": "<p>Skin sense<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for including the interview with Dr. Retno I.S.<br>\nTranggono (Quest for fair complexion the dark side of cosmetics)<br>\nin The Jakarta Post Sunday edition of Aug. 9, 1999.<\/p>\n<p>We would herewith like to provide a correction in the mistaken<br>\nuse of the word melatonin for melanin. Although the words sound<br>\nsomewhat similar, their meaning is totally different.<\/p>\n<p>Melanin: A group of black or dark brown pigments, produced by<br>\nmetabolic activity of certain specialized cells containing<br>\ncarbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and probably sulfur. Occurs<br>\nnaturally in the choroid coat of the eye, the skin, hair, cardiac<br>\nmuscle and pia mater. The same evidence indicates that melanin is<br>\n5-6 dihydroxyn dole, a carboxylic acid, and results from the<br>\naction of the enzyme tyrosinase on tyrosine (according to<br>\nBlakiston's New Gould Medical Dictionary).<\/p>\n<p>Melatonin: A substance formed by the pineal gland that appears<br>\nto depress gonadal function. Melatonin is rapidly metabolized and<br>\nis taken up by all tissues, and it is involved in circadian<br>\nrhythms (Medical &amp; Allied Health Dictionary).<\/p>\n<p>Melatonin is currently a trendy sleeping pill, natural and<br>\ncheap. It's benefits are still debatable, but studies point to<br>\nmany possible uses. The drug may help ease insomnia, combat jet<br>\nlag, prevent pregnancy (in large doses), protect cells from free<br>\nradical damage, boost the immune system, prevent cancer and<br>\nextend life, according to Society &amp; The Arts - Newsweek of Aug.<br>\n14, 1995.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that this information is clear and will be useful for<br>\nfuture reference. We will be most happy to work with The Jakarta<br>\nPost on future articles.<\/p>\n<p>SUSE HERLENI<\/p>\n<p>Marketing Service Manager<\/p>\n<p>PT Ristra Indolab<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
