SWEATING AND GLYCOGENOLYSIS IN PALMAR ECCRINE SWEAT GLANDS OF RHESUS MONKEY

[摘要] The secretory cells of the palmar sweat glands of the rhesus monkey deplete their glycogen after sweating is stimulated pharmacologically with mecholyl. This response is accompanied by an increase in phosphorylase a but no change in total phosphorylase. Results suggest that phosphorylase b serves as a reserve from which phosphorylase a can be rapidly formed to break down glycogen to provide energy for secretory activity.
