Abstract
Membrane coating granules (MCGs) may be required for normal keratinization. Comedone formation is associated with abnormal keratinization, and so the MCGs in sebacaous follicles were counted during experimental comedogenesis in the rabbit. During induced comedo formation with 50% oleic acid in paraffin oil, the numbers of MCGs decreased significantly; first, at the epidermis and mouth of the follicle and then later, at the follicular canal and common sebaceous duct. The maximum decrease of about 40% was reached by the 6th day in these regions. Throughout the treatment, the MCG count in the individual sebaceous ducts remained fairly constant.
