The measurement of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is one of the biophysical skin parameters used to assess skin barrier function. Assessment of transepidermal water loss, may depend on such factors as body region, age, sex or breed and the hair coat has been considered as one of the factors that may cause variation of TEWL values. The aim of our research was an examination of the influence of clipping on the amount of TEWL. The examination was performed with 12 Wielkopolska horses with Courage Khazaka Multi Probe Adapter 5 and a TEWL TM 300 probe. The TEWL values were statistically constant in the clipped site, while the values in the unclipped sites were not. Hair clipping of examined sites is recommended for TEWL measurement in horses.
经表皮水分流失(TEWL)的测量是用于评估皮肤屏障功能的生物物理皮肤参数之一。经表皮水分流失的评估可能取决于身体部位、年龄、性别或品种等因素,并且被毛被认为是可能导致TEWL值变化的因素之一。我们研究的目的是检查剪毛对TEWL量的影响。使用配备了Courage Khazaka Multi Probe Adapter 5和TEWL TM 300探头的12匹大波兰马进行了该项检查。在剪毛部位,TEWL值在统计学上是恒定的,而未剪毛部位的值则不然。建议对检查部位进行剪毛以测量马的TEWL。
