The synergistic action of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone and testosterone of the sebaceous, prostate, preputial, Harderian and lachrymal glands, seminal vesicles and brown adipose tissue in the hypophysectomized-castrated rat.

Alpha-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone was shown to act synergistically with testosterone to stimulate the sebaceous, prostate and the seminal vesicles in hypophys-ectomized-castrated rats. The sebaceous glands differed from the other three organs in that alpha-MSH not only acted synergistically, but also had a significant effect which was independent of the presence of exogenous testosterone. The response of the brown adipose tissue to testerone, considerably reduced by hypophysectomy, was not restored by alpha-MSH. The Harderian and lachrymal glands were also pituitary-dependent and their weights in hypophysectomized-castrated rats were not restored by alpha-MSH.

Minocycline induces an increase in the number of excreting pilosebaceous follicles in acne vulgaris. A randomised study.

The effects of treatment with minocycline 100 mg per day on sebaceous excretion in acne vulgaris using lipometry and Sebutape were studied in 45 patients in an open study as well as in a randomised placebo-controlled study. In both studies a subclinical increase in sebaceous excretion was noted from the 28th day of treatment. This effect continued for 1 month after the end of treatment. The increase in sebaceous excretion was concomitant with an increase in the number of excreting pilosebaceous follicles. Minocycline may cause the follicles to become unblocked by acting on the factors responsible for ostial hyperkeratosis, in addition to an antibacterial effect on retentional acne lesions.

[The effect of bath additive concentration and the water temperature on the refatting effect of oil bath additives].

The refatting effects of three different oil bath products was tested in 30 healthy subjects. In each case the concentration of the therapeutic bath oils and the temperature of the bath water were varied. It could be demonstrated in 2 of the tested products that a threefold increase in the concentrations (as recommended by the companies) significantly enlarges the refatting effect. A further increase in the concentrations significantly reduces this effect. An increase in the temperature of the bath water from 32 degrees to 38 degrees C significantly lessened the refatting effects of all 3 products.
