title: Age-related changes in branched-chain fatty acid concentration of the skin surface lipid from hairless mouse.
abstract: Age-related changes in branched chain fatty acid (BCFA) concentration were studied with the skin surface lipid from hairless mice. A large proportion of BCFA was present in the cholesterol ester (CE) and wax diester (WDE) fraction of the skin surface lipid from hairless mice. The concentration of iso-series BCFA was highest at infancy and decreased with advancing age in both CE and WDE fraction. The concentration of anteiso-series BCFA appeared to be constant throughout the experiment.
