    Notes: Il est possible de remédier à une carence des complexes lipidiques de la couche cornée grâce à des produits cosmétiques de remplacement. La place prépondérante qu'occupent les céramides parmi les lipides intercellulaires du stratum corneum et dans l'enveloppe des cornéocytes nous a conduits à élaborer une suspension aqueuse de céramides sous forme de liposomes. Ce produit a été appliqué et ses effets analysés sur un modèle de stratum corneum délipidé. La comparaison entre le résultat de cette expérimentation et le stratum corneum normal révèle à l'échelle ultrastructurale la présence de figures intercellulaires multilamellaires très semblables dans les deux cas. Les céramides sous forme de liposomes se sont structurées en feuillets analogues à ceux du ciment naturel. La méthode de cryofracture appliquée ici est particulièrement adaptée pour visualiser et suivre le devenir de ces céramides en microscopie électronique.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉SynopsisThe multilamellar structure of intercellular lipids may be examined by cryofracture. These lipids function particularly as a moisture barrier in the stratum corneum (SC) and as an intercellular cement which may be present in excess or be deficient due to physiological abnormalities or external aggression. Any deficiency may be remedied by application of the appropriate cosmetic products. The major role played by ceramides in this cement and in the corneocyte envelope has led to studies of the application of ceramides in the form of liposomesThe object of this paper is to visualize on an ultrastructural scale the fate of ceramides applied to a model SC. The following types of SC have been examined: intact SC; SC defatted by chloroform containing methanol; defatted SC treated by ceramide containing liposomes. These three structures were prepared as cryofracture preparations and examined by transmission electron microscopy. The intact SC samples showed the classic intercellular cement in lamellar 5–10 nm minimum thickness. This cement was absent in the defatted SC. After treatment with ceramide liposomes an intercellular lamellar structure similar to that observed in intact SC could be observed. Cryofracture appears to be a technique well adapted to demonstrate the fate of ceramides in electron microscopy.
