There is considerable variation in the composition of human sebum based on individual variables such as age, sex, diet, and disease.
For these reasons, ACAT inhibitors have previously been explored as potential therapy for hypercholesterolemia.
Although a theory has been proposed for the mechanism of the effect of the ACAT inhibitors on the production of sebum and, therefore, on the treatment of diseases caused by sebaceous gland disorders, the present invention is not dependent upon the validity of that theory.

 Control of sebaceous gland function in the rat by alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone -- Thody and Shuster 64 (3): 503 ...
After treatment with alpha-MSH for 2 weeks, increases in sebum secretion occurred in intact, castrated and hypophysectomized rats, but larger responses were found in the hypophysectomized rats that had received treatment with either TP or progesterone, suggesting that alpha-MSH acts synergistically with TP and progesterone to stimulate sebum secretion.
The effect of alpha-MSH on sebum secretion and preputial gland weight was examined in intact, castrated and hypophysectomized male rats and in hypophysectomized rats receiving treatment with either testosterone propionate (TP) or progesterone.
It is suggested that alpha-MSH acts directly on the sebaceous glands to stimulate lipogenesis and, together with steroid hormones, may have an important role in controlling sebaceous glandd function in the rat and other hairy mammals.

To determine C/EBP expression in sebaceous gland, immunohistochemistry was performed on cryosections of human hair bearing skin and dorsal skin from C57BL/6 mice.

Immunohistochemistry of both human and murine skin showed intense immunoreactivity for C/EBPa, C/EBPß and C/EBPd in the nuclei of both the basal undifferentiaited cells of the sebaceous gland and in the more differentiated sebocytes.
