- Title

- Abstract
The sodium and potassium content of sweat induced by pilocarpine iontophoresis, and alter the intracutaneous injection of pilocarpine, acetylcholine or methylcholine, were compared with thermal sweat. In most subjects, sodium concentrations were higher in pharmacologic sweat than in thermal sweat. An increase in potassium content in pharmacologic sweat was seen in all subjects. Unphysiological exposure of the ductal portion, as well as the secretory portion of sweat gland to exogenous cholinergic drugs was assumed as a possible cause of the high sodium and potassium concentrations of pharmacologically-stimulated sweat.
