Incorporation of 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HODE) into epidermal ceramides and phospholipids: phospholipase C-catalyzed release of novel 13-HODE-containing diacylglycerol.

Ceramides and phospholipids constitute two important structural lipids of normal skin that are notably rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Although linoleic acid (LA) is high in the ceramides, the localization of its 15-lipoxygenase product, 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HODE) in the epidermis...
