p.286 left column top paragraph:"The largest group of stratum corneum lipids, the ceramides, comprise 50% of the total lipid and are structurally heterogenous [primary sources]. Six chromatographically distinct fractions of ceramides have been isolated and characterized by a combination of chemical, chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, and representative structures are shown in Fig. 3." |
