Tear film lipid layer (TFLL) is constantly exposed to reactive ozone in the surrounding air, which may have detrimental effects on ocular health. Behenyl oleate (BO), a representative tear film wax ester, was used to study the reaction with ozone

We illustrate the importance of small quantities (<10 mol%) of polar phospholipids on the surface-active behavior of meibum-like lipid compositions. Artificial meibum-like lipid mixture containing cholesteryl and wax esters was mixed with differing amounts of phosphatidylcholine (PC). The surface activity

Although most mammalian fatty acids (FAs) are straight-chain, there also exist branched-chain FAs such as iso- and anteiso-FAs, especially in the meibomian glands. Meibum lipids, which are secreted from the meibomian glands and are important for dry eye prevention, contain

Five ceramide synthases (CerS2-CerS6) are expressed in mouse skin. Although CerS3 has been shown to fulfill an essential function during skin development, neither CerS6- nor CerS2-deficient mice show an obvious skin phenotype. In order to study the role of CerS4

The tear film lipid layer is believed to stabilize the tear film and to retard evaporation. Based on previous simple in vitro studies, the evidence for the latter property is scarce. In this study, we used complex lipid mixtures including
