Dietary Milk Sphingomyelin Prevents Disruption of Skin Barrier Function in Hairless Mice after UV-B Irradiation
Fig 2
Effect of sphingomyelin on levels of covalently-bound ω-hydroxy ceramide in the epidermis induced by UV-B irradiation.
Levels of ω-hydroxy tetratriacontenoic sphingoshine (d18:1-ω-hydroxy C34:1) are expressed as relative peak area per epidermal protein content. The values are shown as mean ± SD (n = 8/group). *: P < 0.05 (vs. the control group). #: P < 0.05 (vs. day 0).
