[Fatty acids in normal and pathological stratum corneum of humans].
Fatty acids of triacylglycerols and free fatty acids have been studied in normal and hyperkeratotic human plantar stratum corneum. The results emphasize a decrease of long-chain fatty acids (greater than C18) in the hyperkeratotic tissues. Possible explanation for these findings are discussed in relation to the fatty acids metabolism in living epidermis.
