AGE PECULIARITIES OF THE SEBACEOUS GLANDS IN THE TEMPORAL AREA OF THE SCALP SKIN IN MEN
The changes of the sebaceous gland number, size and sebocyte proliferative activity were studied in the temporal area of the scalp skin in the male individuals aged 10 to 70 years (n=77, autopsy material). The minimal number of the sebaceous glands was observed in children. This index rapidly increased thereafter, reaching a peak at 20 years, then gradually decreased. These parameters correlated with the sebaceous gland size, sebocyte proliferative activity and total blood testosterone level. In older men the size of the sebaceous glands was increased.
