From small angle X-ray diffraction for the stratum corneum of hairless mouse, it was obtained
that in the normal stratum corneum, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd order diffraction peaks for the
intercellular lipid lamellar structure appear at 13.8, 6.87 and 4.59 nm, respectively and also
a broad hump for the 4th order reflection appears as observed by the previous researchers.
In the damaged stratum corneum prepared by the treatment of sodium dodecyl sulfate, these
small-angle diffraction peaks disappear and only the broad maxima remain around the 1st …
