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.
