[Effect of dexamethasone on skin phospholipid spectrum in laboratory animals]

The effect of dexamethasone on content of phospholipids in rats' and rabbits' skin has been studied. It has been shown that the present of phospholipids in total content of lipids was more in skin of rats than skin of rabbits. Phosphocholine and phosphatidylethanolamine predominated among phospholipids in human skin as well. Dexamethasone changed both the total content of phospholipids and its fractions. The role of observed alterations to the regulation of cell process has been discussed.
