| For lipophilic compounds, it was shown that cuticular waxes form the transport-limiting barrier of cuticular membranes. |
| Cholesterol, which is far more lipophilic than the hormones, associates tightly with the bilayer and does not cross it at all. |
| These compounds are active against lipophilic viruses, but they are less active against mycobacteria and fungi. |
| Being lipophilic, the oil can penetrate down through the upper level of the skin to the derma. |
| These observations suggest that the generation of 102 by lipophilic porphyrins occurs within the bilayer, which is also the site of damage. |
| As mentioned above, lipophilic, nonpolar chemicals dissolve in the lipid bilayer. |
