THE EFFECT OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL INJURIES ON TRANSEPIDERMAL WATER LOSS AND TURNOVER TIME OF HAIRLESS MOUSE SKIN (SKIN INJURIES).

Résumé du livre

Turnover time and transepidermal water loss determinations were used to assess the effect of several different types of injuries on the skin. Chemical irritation due to surfactant application, as well as physical insults such as sunburns and tape stripping injuries, were shown to increase transepidermal water loss in a dose dependent fashion. Correlations were drawn between the severity of the injury and the subsequent increase in transepidermal water loss. These injuries were also shown to increase the
