Meibomian gland dysfunction. III. Meibomian gland lipids.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science, 1989
The lipid components of meibomian gland excreta were evaluated in rabbits after they received 2% topical epinephrine dropped into their eyes daily for a period of 6 months to a year to induce meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Changes were compared to excreta obtained from seven age-matched, untreated control rabbits.

An Attempt to Establish the Consensus Regarding the Diagnosis, Classification, and Treatment of Rosacea in Japan Using a Modified Delphi Method: The Japan Rosacea Consensus

The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 605-618, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In Japan, rosacea has attracted increasing interest. However, because rosacea had been thought to be relatively rare in Japan, the perception of this disease varies among dermatologists. To address these challenges, this study developed a consensus regarding the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of rosacea using a modified Delphi method

Identification of Meibomian gland stem cell populations and mechanisms of aging

Nature Communications
Meibomian glands secrete lipid-rich meibum, which prevents tear evaporation. Aging-related Meibomian gland shrinkage may result in part from stem cell exhaustion and is associated with evaporative dry eye disease, a common condition lacking effective ...
