Phase behavior of isolated skin lipids.
Ceramides were isolated from the pig stratum corneum (SC) and mixed in varying molar ratios with either cholesterol or with cholesterol and free fatty acids. The phase behavior of the mixtures was studied by small-(SAXD) and wide-angle (WAXD) X-ray diffraction. Ceramides alone did not exhibit a long range ordering. Upon addition of cholesterol to ceramides, lamellar phases were formed and a hex...
متن کاملSkin lipids: an update.
The stratum corneum lipids, responsible for the epidermal water barrier, consist principally of ceramides, cholesterol, cholesteryl sulfate, and free fatty acids. These lipids are arranged in multiple intercellular lamellae that provide an efficient water barrier because of the crystalline array of the straight and predominantly saturated lipid chains. Interlamellar linkages provided by lipids ...
متن کاملSkin Surface Lipids in Infants
The lipid on the surface of human skin is composed of wax esters and squalene from the sebaceous glands, cholesterol and cholesterol esters arising predominantly from the superficial epidermis, and glycerides plus free fatty acids from both sources. The activity of the sebaceous glands goes th rough a number of phases and is largely dependent on underlying endocrine factors. It is high immediat...
متن کاملTumor lipids: characterization of the lipids isolated from membranous material.
Membranous material was prepared from Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells by tonal centrifugation. The distribution of fatty acids among the individual neutral lipid and phospholipid classes isolated from the membrane preparation was determined. Survey electron microscopy indicated that the preparations consisted of vesicles of rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomal-like structures, virus-...
متن کاملThe Behavior of Biological Lipids
Lipids active in biological systems demonstrate a broad range of behavior in water, from hydrocarbons which are insoluble, to molecules such as bile salts that possess potent detergent properties and interact with water rather dynamically. The purpose of this paper is to describe some of the physical properties of lipids with respect to their inter— action with aqueous systems, and to classify ...
