Abstract

Tbe lipids of dog skin have been investigated for two main reasons: 1. previous investigations have indicated wide species variations in skin surface fats (1) and it seemed desirable to extend these observations to more mammalian species in the hope for a better understanding of the lipid metabolism of the mammalian skin; 2. it has become possible, by using the skin of the dog, to study cutaneous lipid metabolism in a perfused surviving preparation under conditions which closely approximate the physiological in viro situation (see subsequent paper). To utilize the perfusion technic for this purpose it was first necessary to make a study of the chemistry of the dog skin lipids.
