Plasma squalene: lipoprotein distribution and kinetic analysis.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1978 Plasma squalene concentration is increased in hypertriglyceridemia. In 24 normotriglyceridemic and 12 hypertriglyceridemic subjects, whole plasma squalene correlated strongly with plasma triglyceride (r = 0.973, P < 0.001) in the latter.

Influence of the sebaceous gland density on the stratum corneum lipidome [PDF]
, 2018 The skin surface lipids (SSL) result from the blending of sebaceous and epidermal lipids, which derive from the sebaceous gland (SG) secretion and the permeability barrier of the stratum corneum (SC), respectively.
