Sebaceous gland lipids.
The principal activity of mature sebaceous glands is producing and secreting sebum, which is a complex mixture of lipids. Sebum composition is different among species and this difference is probably due to the function that sebum has to absolve. In human sebum there are unique lipids, such as squalene and wax esters not found anywhere else in the body nor among the epidermal surface lipids. Mor...

متن کاملHistogenesis of Sebaceous Gland Carcinomas
Tumors produced by 2-acetylaminofluorene occur with differing frequencies in various organs. The squamous-cell carcinomas of the auditory canal region, reported in the original experiment of Wilson, De Eds, and Cox (23), appear to be of particular interest. There has been considerable discussion in the literature as to their site of origin and mode of development. In our experiment this type of...
متن کاملSebaceous-immunobiology is orchestrated by sebum lipids
The major role of sebaceous glands in mammals is to produce sebum, which coats the epidermis and the hair providing waterproofing, thermoregulation and photoprotection. However, as the need for these functions decreased along the evolutionary changes in humans, a relevant question has been raised: are sebaceous glands and sebum the remnants of our mammalian heritage or do they have overtaken a ...
متن کاملAge and ethnic variations in sebaceous lipids
This study was conducted to compare lipid components of sebum from persons from three ethnic backgrounds-Caucasian, African American and Northern Asian. Men and women with no acne in two age groups (18‒25 y and 35‒45 y) were recruited. Skin surface hydration (SkiCon 200EX and NovaMeter), barrier function (Delfin VapoMeter), high-resolution clinical imaging, self-assessments and two pairs of seb...
