| 31. | Physically, skin also helps to limit water loss by the mucus and the intercellular spaces in the stratum corneum.
|
| 32. | Below the epidermis lies the dermis, which is approximately one millimeter thick, 100 times the thickness of the stratum corneum.
|
| 33. | Recently, ceramides, which are the major lipid constituent of the stratum corneum, have been used in the treatment of eczema.
|
| 34. | The amount of sunscreen which penetrates through the stratum corneum may or may not be large enough to cause damage.
|
| 35. | The presence or sericin increases hydroxyproline in the stratum corneum, which in turn, decrease skin impedance, thus increasing skin moisture.
|
| 36. | While in preservation, the animal is of a pale lavender grey colour, with browner patches where stratum corneum is absent.
|
| 37. | But the stratum corneum is designed to keep out outside elements, such as bacteria, and is resistent to such invasions.
|
| 38. | Cryogenic scanning electron microscopy has shown that lanolin, like human stratum corneum lipids, consists of a mass of liquid crystalline material.
|
| 39. | Within the stratum corneum, filaggrin monomers can become incorporated into the lipid envelope, which is responsible for the skin barrier function.
|
| 40. | Interaction with water with a component in or on the stratum corneum or sebum, generating a toxic compound, has been suggested.
