Skin barrier function is partly regulated by skin lipids. Skin lipidomics can elucidate the relationships between skin lipidome and skin function.
The skin lipid profile is known to vary with factors like age, sex, season of the year, and certain skin conditions. These relationships have not been comprehensively characterized, but may affect skin barrier function.
Researchers of Lipotype and University of Medicine, Wrocław characterized the lipid profile in skin samples from 104 individuals using mass spectrometry-based lipidomics. The results reveal how the skin lipidome varies with skin depth, within individuals, and between individuals.
