Lipid composition on the skin surface of auricles in UVB-irradiated hamsters.
| Relative amounts of lipids (fold vs. control) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Treatment | TG | FFAs | Ch |
| Control | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 |
| UVB (5.4 kJ/m2) | 2.3±1.2a | 1.5±0.3a | 2.0±0.5a |
Lipids on the skin surface of auricles in Fig. 2 were extracted and subjected to thin layer chromatographic analysis. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation from three individual extracts.
