A Citrus Polymethoxy Flavonoid, Nobiletin Inhibits Sebum Production and Sebocyte Proliferation, and Augments Sebum Excretion in Hamsters

Studies of sebum. IV. The estimation of squalene in sebum and sebum-like materials.

Increased sebum excretion in patients with breast cancer.

The rate of sebum excretion from the forehead skin of patients with early breast cancer was found to be just significantly higher than in age-matched control women. This may indicate that some breast cancer patients have an increase in circulating or tissue-bound sebotrophic hormones, or a decrease in their inhibitors.

The association of the sebum excretion rate with melasma, erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, and rhytides.

BACKGROUND Rosacea and melasma are two common skin conditions in dermatology. Both conditions have a predilection for the centrofacial region where the sebaceous gland density is the highest. However it is not known if sebaceous function has an association with these conditions. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess the relationship between facial glabellar wrinkle severity and facial sebum ...

Studies of sebum. VIII. Observations on the squalene and cholesterol content and the possible functions of squalene in human sebum.

The object of our investigations has been to study the composition ofsebum and to elucidate its role in maintaining the health of the skin. In a previous paper on the hydrocarbons of sebum (Boughton, Hodgson-Jones, MacKenna, Wheatley & Wormall, 1955) we observed that the squalene content of sebum showed wide variations, both in samples collected from the same subject on different occasions and ...

Studies of Sebum. II. Some constituents of the unsaponifiable matter of human sebum.

as one of the major constituents, accounting for about 16% of the unsaponifiable matter and about 35% of the hydrocarbon fraction. Some preliminary chemical tests were made for the fatsoluble vitamins, and the presence ofa small amount of vitamin E in human sebum was reported. A more complete study of the unsaponifiable matter has now been made, and this material has been more thoroughly examin...
