Phenotypic flexibility in cutaneous water loss and lipids of the stratum corneum in house sparrows (Passer domesticus) following acclimation to high and low humidity.

Physiological and biochemical zoology : PBZ - 1 Jan 2000

Munoz-Garcia Agusti, Cox Robert M, Williams Joseph B

Abstract excerpt

Resistance to water-vapor diffusion through the skin is thought to be conferred by lipids in the stratum corneum (SC), the outer layer of the epidermis. We tested the effect of ambient humidity on cutaneous water loss (CWL) and lipid composition of the SC by acclimating house sparrows (Passer dom...
