... of Na + through sweat significantly contributes to long-term blood pressure and risk of hypertension. Evidence indicates that changes in skin Na + content negatively associate with renal function, and factors that influence the concentration of Na + in sweat are affected by major regulators of Na...

... remains unclear. We investigated the association between measures of sweat and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) with Na + content in the skin ([Na + ] skin ) and clinical characteristics in consecutive hypertensive patients. We obtained an iontophoretic pilocarpine-induced sweat sample, a skin punch...

...V. Schwarz; I. M. Naomi Simpson 1. There is a time lag between the beginning of sweat secretion and fully effective production of fluid of minimum salt content. It is suggested that changes in permeability to water or electrolytes have to be effected and may account for the time lag. 2...

...A. K. Khullar; V. Schwarz; P. D. Wilson 1. Cyclic AMP accumulation has been measured in whole human sweat glands. The mean rate in glands from 19 subjects was 0.519 ± 0.316 pmol of cyclic AMP formed 5 min −1 μg −1 of DNA, which is comparable with that reported for other tissues. 2. Cyclic AMP...

...J. Rees; S. Shuster 1. To study the difference in sweat rate between men and women the rates of cholinergic-induced sweating were measured in normal people before and after puberty and in response to androgens and anti-androgens. 2. Sweat rate in men was more than double that in women. 3...
