The Research of Sex Hormonal Influence on the Meibomian Gland and the Ocular Surface Epithelium

本研究对无污染的眉板腺分泌物的采集方法进行了重新评价，并对其脂肪酸组成进行了分析。在健康受试者中，美宝由40%饱和脂肪酸和60%不饱和脂肪酸组成。不饱和脂肪酸以支链脂肪酸为主，不饱和脂肪酸以单不饱和脂肪酸为主。经前妇女的FA组成随着月经周期的变化而变化。

In the present study, the methods of collection for meibomian gland secretion (meibum) without contamination were reevaluated and the analysis of fatty acid (FA) composition of meibum was conducted. In healthy volunteers meibum was composed of 40% saturated and 60% unsaturated FAs. In unsaturated Fas branched FAs were dominant and in unsaturated FAs monounsaturated was the major component. In premenstrual women the FA composition changed according to their menstrual cycle.
