Meibomian glands, meibum, and meibogenesis [PDF]
Experimental Eye Research, 2017 Meibum is a lipid-rich secretion that is produced by fully differentiated meibocytes in the holocrine Meibomian glands (MG) of humans and most mammals. The secretion is a part of a defense mechanism that protects the ocular surface from hazardous environmental factors, and from desiccation.

Growth Hormone Influence on the Morphology and Size of the Mouse Meibomian Gland
Journal of Ophthalmology, 2016 Purpose. We hypothesize that growth hormone (GH) plays a significant role in the regulation of the meibomian gland. To test our hypothesis, we examined the influence of GH on mouse meibomian gland structure. Methods.
