Assessing the Impact of Mechanical Damage on Full-Thickness Porcine and Human Skin Using an In Vitro Approach

Table 1

TEWL data (number of experimentations with mean and median) obtained from healthy human (IntactHSkin) and porcine (IntactPigS.) skin biopsies and human stretch marks biopsies (StretchM.HSkin).

Type of skins		Average rank	Median (TEWL) g/m²/h	Mean (TEWL) g/m²/h
Intact pig skins	154	166.68	6.60	6.70 ± 0.23
Intact human skins	106	77.92	3.95	4.23 ± 0.28
Stretch marks skins	8	264.5	13.55	13.6 ± 0.58
