Fatty acids play an important role in the barrier function of skin
and represent a major source of proinflammatory mediators such as
prostaglandins, leukotrienes and other lipids in inflammatory skin
disorders. This book combines the two major functions of fatty
acids in skin biology. In the first part the biosynthesis of fatty
acids in skin with its role in barrier function as well as the role
of dietary fatty acids on skin cell function and in the treatment
of inflammatory skin diseases is presented. The second part deals
with skin as a source of proinflammatory eicosanoids, especially
with the keratinocyte as a major cellular source. Metabolism of
eicosanoids in skin, its role in psoriasis and atopic dermatitis as
well as pharmacological inhibition of eicosanoid biosynthesis is
reviewed. The book finishes with a chapter describing the methods
used for quantification of fatty acids and derivatives in skin
inflammation. Anyone interested in skin physiology would benefit
from the overviews about the two sites of fatty acids' function in
skin integrity and in skin inflammation.
