Compostion of Triglycerides of Sebaceous Glands in Patients with Osmidrosis and Hyperhidrotic Patients / 대한피부과학회지

The composition of triglycerides of the axillary sebaceous glands in 10 patient, with osmidrosis and 10 patients with hyperhidrosis was analyzed by high pressure liquid chromatography. Sebaceous glands were isolated and dissected by Kellum's method, and lipids were extracted by Folchs method. Individual triglycerides were separated by high pressure liquid chromatography and fatty acid composition of triglycerides was analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. A number of individual triglycerides were identified: Fraction 1 consisted of dimyristoarachidonin, dilinoleioarachidonin, and myristol inoleioarachidonin, fraction 2 was trilinolein, fraction 3 was dilinoleioolein, fraction 4 was dilinoleiopalmitin, fraction 5 consisted of dioleiolinolein, dipalmitolinoleiri, and palmitooleilinolein. In osmidrosis patients, cornpositions of fraction 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were 5, 4%. 18.5% 29.5% 32.0% 14.1% of total triglycerides, respectively. In hyperhidrosis patients, cornpositions of fraction 1, 2, '3, 4, and 5 were,5, 9%, 20. 6%, 30. 9% 32. 1%, 14. 5% of total triglycericles, resectively. There were no differences in composition of triglycerides of sekaceous glands between osmidrosis patients and hyperhidrosis patients and hyperhi.frosis patients.
