Sebum composition has been measured in 51 patients with varying degrees of pellagra and compared with a control group of subjects in the same geographic area. In the pellagra group the wax ester percentage was 14-9 versus the normal of 21-9%. The squalene percentage was increased in the pellagra group (11-6%) versus a control value of 8-4%. A small increase in the percentage of cholesterol was also noted. These changes, which previously have been observed in starved but otherwise normal subjects, were reversible with adequate refeeding.
对51例不同程度糙皮病患者的皮脂成分进行了测量，并与同一地理区域的对照组受试者进行了比较。糙皮病组蜡酯百分比为14.9%，而正常组为21.9%。糙皮病组角鲨烯百分比增加（11.6%），而对照组为8.4%。还注意到胆固醇百分比有小幅增加。这些变化先前在饥饿但其他方面正常的受试者中也有观察到，通过充足的再喂养是可逆的。
