“…These findings corroborate the view that the fine and dense blood vessel network of the scrotal dermis is generally involved in thermoregulation by heat emission [5,7,13]. In this context it has to be emphasized that the secretions of the apocrine tubular glands are not involved in thermoregulative activities but in antimicrobial defence to protect the skin and, here particularly the sparsely haired scrotal surface, against microbial invasion [15,18,20,21,24,25]. In this context, the excellent vascular supply of the scrotal apocrine glands, as shown in our study, supports strong and continuous secretion production.…”

“…This corroborates the hypothesis that glycans generally participate in innate protection against epithelial/mucosal or glandular pathogens (Morrow et al 2005, Perrier et al 2006, and features a basic biological mechanism with low energy requirements that operates before the specific immune system is activated (Meyer et al 2000(Meyer et al , 2001.…”

“…epidermal cells, dermal glands), and mainly from secretions of the apocrine glands (Meyer et al 2000(Meyer et al , 2001. The free sugar spectra had quite the same qualities independent of varying hair density, as demonstrable when the northern fur seal was compared to the common seal.…”
