“…Studies of the in vitro metabolism of human eccrine sweat glands have heretofore been limited to those of Kosaka (1), who measured C02 production in skin slices, and those of Schulz et al (2), who made preliminary observations on the production of lactate by a single surviving sweat gland under nitrogen. We therefore have developed an in vitro system in order to study the energy metabolism and the manner in which This work was presented in part at the meeting of the American Physiological Society, 21 April 1968, Atlantic City, N.
