Terpene-enhanced transdermal permeation of water and ethanol in human epidermis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The study was performed to investigate the effect of penetration enhancers on the stratum corneum barrier. Epidermal membranes were prepared from freeze-stored (-70 degrees C) Caucasian breast skin and mounted in a flow-through diffusion cell. The validity of the freeze storage procedure was verified by measurement of [3H]-water penetration. The effect of the cyclic terpene, carveol, on the transdermal penetration of water and ethanol was studied in vitro. Control ethanol and water penetration measured with a donor solution of 50% ethanol/PBS (w/w) was 1.9+/-0.2 and 3.6+/-0.5 x 10(-3) cm/h. The addition of 3% carveol to the donor solution increased the permeation of ethanol and water after 4 h to 8.3+/-1.1 and 12.5+/-1.9 x 10(-3) cm/h, respectively. In a separate experiment, terpinen-4-ol and alpha-terpineol were also tested, in addition to carveol, for effect on tritium flux. No significant difference in maximum tritium flux was obtained between the three terpenes studied. The maximum increase in permeability coefficients of carveol, terpinen-4-ol and alpha-terpineol was 10.6, 8.7 and 10.9, respectively.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
