... these potential biomarkers in sebum from the skin surface to examine their concentrations in conditions including acne, atopic dermatitis, and pressure ulcers. However, the identification of robust biomarker candidates is limited by the low abundance of specific proteins extracted by current methodologies...

... premature infants over a longitudinal observation period. Methods: Transepidermal water loss (TEWL), stratum corneum hydration (SCH), pH and sebum were measured at postnatal ages of 1-7 days and 2-7 weeks on the forehead, abdomen, thigh and buttock of preterm infants (gestational age 30-37 weeks; n = 48...

...Thais H. Sakuma; Howard I. Maibach Oily skin (seborrhea) is a common cosmetic problem that occurs when oversized sebaceous glands produce excessive amounts of sebum giving the appearance of shiny and greasy skin. This paper overviews the main concepts of sebaceous gland anatomy and physiology...

...J.-C. Tsai; C.-C. Lu; M.-K. Lin; J.-W. Guo; H.-M. Sheu The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of sebum on drug transport across the human stratum corneum (SC) in vivo for two model compounds, 4-cyanophenol (CP) and cimetidine (CM), of different lipophilicity and molecular size...

..., stratum corneum (SC) hydration and sebum content in both genders and at various ages have been inconclusive, which was in part due to small sample size. Additionally, little is known about the skin physical properties of Asian, especially Chinese, subjects. In the present study, we assess the difference...

...Gérald E. Piérard; Claudine Piérard-Franchimont; Albert M. Kligman We present a novel method for studying the changing characteristics of sebum excretion of facial skin over a 3-hour period. Sebum production can be quantified by analysis of the pore patterns formed on a sebum-sensitive tape...

...J.J. Wille; A. Kydonieus The percent lipid composition of pooled human sebum analyzed by thin-layer chromatography was: ceramides (13%), fatty acid (47%), cholesterol (7%), cholesterol esters (2%), squalene (11%), triglycerides (3%), and wax esters (17%). Total sebum lipids (2– 4 mg/ml), sonicated...
