monitor sweat continuously and the amount of sweat may not meet monitoring needs. In such circumstances, iontophoresis, whereby sweat glands are stimulated through delivery of an agonist using a low electrical current, is an useful method to obtain sufficient sweat60,61. However, sweat composition o...
Sweat glandsare askin appendage, and can be classified into eccrine and apocrinesweat glands, depending on their secretory product and mechanism of secretion. They play an important role in thermo- andosmoregulation. Lessons on the role of PRL in humansweat glandregulation can be drawn from non-...
The eccrine glands are free-standing adnexal structures that have no relationship to the hair follicle. They are distributed over the entire body, but are especially numerous on the palms, soles and forehead. The total number of eccrine glands is 2鈥 3 million. The secretory part of the ...
Sweat glands that produce body odor. They occur in the armpits and genital area and become active at puberty. Dictionary of Unfamiliar Words by Diagram Group Copyright © 2008 by Diagram Visual Information Limited Want to thank TFD for its existence?Tell a friend about us, add a link to th...
In addition, although sweat glands are distributed in various body parts, they are small and often attached to the skin surface, so that sweat produced from them easily evaporates. Sweat secretion rates can be lower than 10 nL min−1 cm−2 at low secretion sites such as an arm or ...
In humans, the dynamic thermoregulatory organ, comprised of 2–4 million sweat glands distributed over the body, can secrete up to 4 L of sweat per day, thereby making it possible to withstand high temperatures and endure prolonged physical stress (e.g., long-distance running). The...
Sodium (Na+) intake during exercise aims to replace the Na+ lost by sweat to avoid electrolyte imbalances, especially in endurance disciplines. However, Na+ needs can be very different among individuals because of the great inter-individual variability i
The number of sweat ducts within human skin varies from 2–4 million49, and ducts are distributed across the body surface. However, for such helical ducts to function as antennas, the number of turns must be higher than three. The majority of such ducts identified by OCT are present on ...
These ions are important for maintaining body fluid balance through their major contribution to the osmotic pressure gradient between intracellular and extracellular fluid (Baker and Wolfe, 2020). The benefit of HA is that eccrine sweat glands adapt by conserving sodium loss when sweat production is ...
Immunoperoxidase labeling revealed abundant expression of NKCC1 and NHE1 in the basolateral domain of secretory coils of rat, mouse, and human sweat glands and low expression was found in the coiled part of the ducts. In contrast, NKCC1 and NHE1 labeling was absent from rat, mouse, and ...
