Human Meibum Age, Lipid–Lipid Interactions and Lipid Saturation in Meibum from Infants
Tear stability decreases with increasing age and the same signs of instability are exacerbated with dry eye. Meibum lipid compositional changes with age provide insights into the biomolecules responsible for tear film instability. Meibum was collected from 69 normal donors ranging in age from 0.6 to 68 years of age. Infrared spectroscopy was used to measure meibum lipid phase transition paramet...
متن کاملChanges in human meibum lipid composition with age using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
PURPOSE Human tear film stability decreases with increasing age. In this study, the changes in meibum composition were measured in search of markers of tear film instability. METHODS (1)H NMR nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of 43 normal donors aged 1 to 88 years were acquired. RESULTS Compared with meibum from adolescents and adults, meibum from infants and children contains less C...
متن کاملMeibum Lipid Composition in Asians with Dry Eye Disease
BACKGROUND Previous lipidomic analyses of the human meibum had largely focused on individuals from non-Asian populations, despite the higher prevalence of dysfunctional tear syndrome (DTS) observed across Asia. Information pertaining to the alterations in lipid profiles in relation to DTS onset and progression is also lacking and warrants comprehensive experimental analysis. METHODOLOGIES/PRI...
متن کاملSebum/Meibum Surface Film Interactions and Phase Transitional Differences
PURPOSE Sebum may contribute to the composition of the tear film lipid layer naturally or as a contaminant artifact from collection. The aims of this study were to determine: if sebum changes the rheology of meibum surface films; if the resonance near 5.2 ppm in the 1H-NMR spectra of sebum is due to squalene (SQ); and if sebum or SQ, a major component of sebum, interacts with human meibum. ME...
متن کاملDifferences in human meibum lipid composition with meibomian gland dysfunction using NMR and principal component analysis.
PURPOSE Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been used to quantify lipid wax, cholesterol ester terpenoid and glyceride composition, saturation, oxidation, and CH₂ and CH₃ moiety distribution. This tool was used to measure changes in human meibum composition with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). METHODS (1)H-NMR spectra of meibum from 39 donors with meibomian gland dysfunction ...
