Ige in Human Eccrine Sweat

Eccrine sweat gland carcinoma.

The differential diagnosis among the most frequent skin tumors, base-cell carcinoma and squamous-cell carcinoma, and the rare types, the sweat gland carcinomas, is fundamental for the early diagnosis and prognosis of a patient. These are classified as eccrine and apocrine, and the eccrine is the most common type. The eccrine sweat glands are most abundant in the palms of the hands and the feet ...

Sodium Secretion and Reabsorption in the Human Eccrine Sweat Gland.

Role of circulating catecholamines in human eccrine sweat gland control.

1. Intra-arterially as well as intradermally administered adrenaline or noradrenaline produces a sweat response. 2. The intensity of the intradermal response is always considerably less than that due to acetylcholine and the threshold of effective concentration is considerably greater than for acetylcholine. The glands also fail to respond to repeated small doses of intradermal catecholamine an...

Na+/H+ exchangers in the human eccrine sweat duct.

Using an anti-NHE1 antibody, we demonstrate the presence of a Na+/H+ exchanger of isoform 1 (NHE1) in the human eccrine sweat duct. A strong staining was observed at the basolateral membrane of the outer cell layer (NHE1basal), at the junction between inner and outer cells layers (NHE1inter), and along the lateral membranes (NHE1later) of all cells of the duct. At the luminal membrane, no stain...

Metabolic studies of isolated human eccrine sweat glands.

This paper describes a method for isolating and studying the metabolism of human eccrine sweat glands. (a) Electron microscopy of glands which had been isolated and then incubated for an hour revealed no apparent alteration in morphology. (b) Known variation in gland size (male > female > children) was reflected in the relative rates of lactate production. (c) Lactate production was approximate...
