title: Electron paramagnetic resonance: a new techniquein skin research.
abstract: BACKGROUND/AIM: Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of nitroxide spin probes have been used for studying biological membranes and chemical-membrane interaction. We have investigated the influence of surfactants on the intercellular lipid structure of cadaver stratum corneum and the possibility of EPR spectral measurements on the stripped stratum corneum utilizing cyanoacrylate resin, which might reflect the actual skin lipid conditions. CONCLUSION: EPR spectra are useful in evaluating the fluidity measurement of stratum corneum of cadaver skin and stripped stratum corneum.
