Popis: 1. 1. The acylglucosylceramides were isolated from the polar lipids of horse epidermis and examined to determine whether the component ω-hydroxyacids are straight chained as in the corresponding lipids from pig epidermis or branched as in horse sebum. 2. 2. The hydroxyacids from horse epidermis were found to be almost entirely straight chained compounds. 3. 3. The results indicate that sebaceous glands, although derived from epidermal cells, have evolved independent pathways of lipid metabolism.
