Sebaceous-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 کاملSebaceous 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 کاملExamination of lipids in human sebum by disk chromatography.
Collection of sebum. Samples of the sebum were obtained (Miescher & Schonberg, 1949) from the forehead of healthy white adults 16-60 years of age. Samples were analysed from 21 persons (11 men, 10 women) not suffering from skin diseases. To collect the sample, a strip of filter paper (Whatman no. 1, 3 cm. x 12 cm.), previously defatted by extraction with boiling light petroleum, was placed on t...
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...
متن کاملAlcohol-Induced Neuroadaptation Is Orchestrated by the Histone Acetyltransferase CBP
Homeostatic neural adaptations to alcohol underlie the production of alcohol tolerance and the associated symptoms of withdrawal. These adaptations have been shown to persist for relatively long periods of time and are believed to be of central importance in promoting the addictive state. In Drosophila, a single exposure to alcohol results in long-lasting alcohol tolerance and symptoms of withd...
