THE SKIN OF PRIMATES .17. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF THE SWEAT GLAND OF LEMUR-MONGOZ

[摘要] Eccrine sweat glands, present only on the volar surfaces of the hands and feet, are surrounded by acetylcholinesterase-containing nerves. Pharmacologically, the eccrine sweat glands are mostly cholinergic. Axon reflex sweating can be induced with 10-5 nicotine. The functional activity and the neuroglandular transmission in the eccrine sweat glands of Lemur mongoz seem to be similar to those of man. Apocrine sweat glands in the hairy skin are probably not at all sensitive to sudorific agents.
