Glucose Metabolism of the Isolated Eccrine Sweat Gland

Glucose metabolism of the isolated eccrine sweat gland. II. The relation between glucose metabolism and sodium transport.

This paper attempts to further clarify the characteristics of Mecholyl- or epinephrine-stimulated glucose metabolism in the isolated monkey eccrine sweat gland with special emphasis on its relationship to increased sodium transport. The Mecholyl- or epinephrine-stimulated glucose metabolism (as estimated by either lactate or (14)CO(2) production or both) is seen only in the secretory coil and n...

Sweat induction from an isolated eccrine sweat gland.

SAW, KENZO. Sweat induction from an isolated eccrine sweat gland. Am. J. Physiol. 225(5) : 1147-l 152. 1973.-A method has been developed for in vitro induction of sweating from an isolated monkey-palm eccrine sweat gland. The validity of the new methodology is shown in the following results. MecholyLinduced sweating was completely inhibited by atropine and by cooling the incubation medium to 4 ...

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 ...

The Junctional Complex Associated Body of Human Eccrine Sweat Gland

The junctional complex connecting epithelial cells at their luminal pole consists of a complex of highly specialized structures which provide attachment (5-7) and communication (10) between cells . This junctional complex includes the zonula occludens, the underlying zonula adherens and, at intervals, the subjacent macula adherens or desmosome. Although this complex of fine structures occurs ve...
