THE INSENSIBLE PERSPIRATION OF THE SKIN IN HYPERKERATOTIC CONDITIONS

[摘要] In cutaneous lesions with hyperpro-duction of keratin, the insensible perspiration is increased 3-10 fold, but is practically normal in hyperkeratosis without increase of keratinization. It is concluded that, physiologically, one part of the insensible perspiration is contributed by the keratinization process.
