NEUROENDOCRINE CONTROL OF SWEAT GLANDS
Eccrine glands perform two functions: those on the foot pads of animals and the palms of humans facilitate prehension and are controlled by both adrenergic and cholinergic nerves; those on the general body surface regulate body heat and are controlled by cholinergic nerves.

The pH of the skin surface and its impact on the barrier function [PDF]
The `acid mantle' of the stratum corneum seems to be important for both permeability barrier formation and cutaneous antimicrobial defense. However, the origin of the acidic pH, measurable on the skin surface, remains conjectural.

3D Deep-learning-based Segmentation of Human Skin Sweat Glands and Their 3D Morphological Response to Temperature Variations [PDF]
Skin, the primary regulator of heat exchange, relies on sweat glands for thermoregulation. Alterations in sweat gland morphology play a crucial role in various pathological conditions and clinical diagnoses. Current methods for observing sweat gland morphology are limited by their two-dimensional, in vitro, and destructive nature, underscoring the ...

Idiopathic generalized anhidrosis with absence of sweat glands: A case report and literature review
Idiopathic generalized anhidrosis is a rare disease characterized by sweating impairment despite exposure to heat or exercise. It could be congenital or acquired. We reported a 22-year-old male with generalized anhidrosis, except axillae, forehead, palms
