Lipid mediator profile in vernix caseosa reflects skin barrier development

Abstract: Vernix caseosa (VC) is a protective layer that covers the skin of most human newborns. This study characterized the VC lipid mediator profile, and examined its relationship to gestational period, gender of the newborn and maternal lifestyle. VC collected at birth from 156 newborns within the ALADDIN birth cohort was analyzed and 3 different groups of lipid mediators (eicosanoids and related oxylipin analogs, endocannabinoids and sphingolipids) were screened using LC-MS/MS. A total of 54 compounds were detected… Show more

“…In addition, a higher prevalence was observed in females (p=0.034; OR=1.7). Vernix is an indication of fetal maturity and epidermal synthesis because the levels of its production, along with that of ceramides, rise between 39 and 40 weeks 33 34 , 35 Although described, 17 the association of vernix and gestational age over 40 weeks was not observed in our study.…”
