	Sweating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The sweat glands are controlled by sympathetic cholinergic nerves which are controlled by a centre in the hypothalamus.
		These glands are mainly present in the armpits and around the genital area and their activity is the main cause of sweat odour, due to the bacteria that break down the organic compounds in the sweat from these glands.
		Asian people have markedly fewer of these glands compared to white or fl people,[[1]] which is why Asian people generally do not emit such odors and foreigners have a reputation among industrialized east Asians as smelling like animals, irrespective of the foreigners' actual hygenic practices.

		Apocrine sweat glands are located in the axilla (armpit), perigenital, perianal, and perimammary areas of the body.
		Being concentrated in apocrine sweat means that the measured chemical concentration (nanograms/ml) of PSA in apocrine sweat is higher than the measured chemical concentration in the blood from which the apocrine sweat was made.
		Apocrine sweat from control individuals would be separated by the same chromatography method and a subtraction of results would be done which would then identify the suspected biomarker protein from the cancer patients.

		The apocrine glands from individuals of African ancestry are the largest and most active.
		Apocrine bromhidrosis never occurs before puberty, because the particular glands involved are not active in the pre-pubescent individual.
		Apocrine sweat is the only natural product of the body which, when decomposed with bacteria, gives rise to the classic apocrine odour.

		The eccrine glands, found everywhere on the body surface, are vital to the regulation of body temperature.
		The apocrine glands, which occur only in the armpits and about the ears, nipples, navel, and anogenital region, are scent glands.
		Apocrine fluid is rich in organic substances that are odorless when fresh but are quickly degraded by bacteria on the skin to produce characteristic odors.

	Sebaceous Glands and the AAT
		However, their claims that aquatic mammals lose their apocrine glands and sweat-cool via eccrine glands, and that human sebaceous glands are a waterproofing adaptation, are all contradicted by the facts.
		The answer undoubtedly lies in her oft-stated belief that apocrine glands disappear in aquatic species (this is a cornerstone of her version of the aquatic ape hypothesis).
		Apocrine glands discharge their contents and these must be replenished before they're used again, while eccrine glands can go on and on.

		Beneath the epithelium are mucous glands; note the foamy appearance of the cytoplasm and the flattened nucleus.
		The mode of secretion in these glands is holocrine (i.e., the contents of the cell are released after the cell dies and the cell membrane disintegrates).
		The merocrine sweat gland have a much smaller lumen (relative to the apocrine glands) and it is extremely coiled with each collection of tubules representing several cross sections of the same gland.

		The eccrine glands, apocrine glands and sebaceous glands are associated with and thus open into the hair follicle, close to the top of the follicle.
		And when it is transplanted in close proximity to hair follicles that do have apocrine glands, the transplant may be at some risk, but the risk is not as severe as it is for hair follicles that are attached to apocrine glands.
		Apocrine glands are attached to the sebaceous gland.

	Body Odor Support
		Eccrine glands are distributed over the entire skin surface and primarily are involved in thermoregulation via sweat production.In contrast, apocrine glands have a limited distribution, involving the axilla, genital skin, and breasts; apocrine elements also commonly are found in the periorbital and periauricular areas.
		Apocrine glands have no thermoregulatory role but are responsible for characteristic pheromonic odor.
		Excessive eccrine secretion may favor the spread of apocrine sweat and contribute further to bromhidrosis or, conversely, may cause a decrease in odor because the eccrine sweat dilutes the apocrine sweat.

		The two different types of glands in the axilla, the eccrine and apocrine glands are distributed within the dermis and the upper regions of the subcutaneous fat tissue.
		The eccrine glands secrete a clear watery fluid important for thermoregulation and the apocrine glands produce small volumes of white liquid thought to be important for body odour.
		In case of hyperfunction of the eccrine glands (hyperhidrosis) or the apocrine glands (bromhidrosis) surgical excision may prove inevitable.

	Journal of Drugs in Dermatology: Bilateral facial apocrine chromhidrosis
		Apocrine chromhidrosis was first described by Yonge in 1709 (1) and later attributed to lipofuscin pigments by Shelley and Hurley in 1954 (2).
		Apocrine chromhidrosis usually manifests in puberty when these glands become functionally active and is unrelated to dietary, systemic, or metabolic alterations, gender, occupation, or geographical predisposition (1,2).
		Under the microscope, the number of apocrine glands is variable and yellow-brown lipofuscin granules may be observed in the apical area of secretory cells with H and E stain.

		There are 2 types of glands: eccrine glands, which open by a duct on the skin surface and are completely controlled by the autonomic system, and apocrine glands, which are at hair follicle shaft openings in the armpits, perineum, and genitalia.
		Paradoxically, the few apocrine glands a human does have mix with the output of eccrine glands.

		Ancestral mammary glands usually are assumed to have produced a copious watery secretion like that of human eccrine sweat glands.
		Nevertheless, each of the three populations of cutaneous glands exhibit specializations unlikely to be primitive for the mammary gland.
		Consequently, ancestral, prototypic lacteal glands may have had the capacity to synthesize and secrete small amounts of organic substances, as do sebaceous and apocrine glands of living mammals.

	International Hyperhidrosis Society HCP: Physiology of Normal Sweating
		Eccrine glands are in higher density on the soles of the feet and the forehead, followed by the palms and the cheeks.[48,57] Apocrine sweat glands are located in limited areas—the axilla and urogenital regions—and produce a thick, odorless fluid that undergoes bacterial decomposition, leading to substances with strong odors.
		The ratio of apocrine to eccrine glands is one to one in the axillae and one to ten elsewhere.[48]
		For eccrine glands, the major neurotransmitter is acetylcholine, and for apocrine glands, catecholamines are the major neurotransmitters.

		Although apocrine glands are found in the genital, axillary, areolar, and facial skin, chromhidrosis is reported only on the face, axillae, and breast areola.
		This pigment is produced in the apocrine gland, and its various oxidative states account for the characteristic yellow, green, blue, or fl secretions observed in apocrine chromhidrosis.

		Though salivary glands are located "inside" the mouth, the mouth and all the lumen of the digestive tract is technically located "outside" of the body.
		One may consider the apocrine glands' pheromonal secretions as a possible exception, though pheromones are generally thought to be intended to affect biochemical, hormonal-like affects in the cells of other individuals.
		Though humans may deny the importance of apocrine glands, calling them "evolutionary vestiges", apocrine glands give a characteristic muskiness to the genitals and may contribute to sexual attraction (or repulsion).
