  • Given how crucial perspiration is for survival, you'd think that researchers would have the science of sweat all figured out by now, but there are still open questions. (wdcnews6.com)
  • When the sweat gland is stimulated, the cells secrete a fluid ( primary secretion ) that is similar to plasma -- that is, it is mostly water and it has high concentrations of sodium and chloride and a low concentration of potassium -- but without the proteins and fatty acids that are normally found in plasma. (howstuffworks.com)
  • This is the type of sweat gland that is found around hair follicles. (nedhardy.com)
  • Sweat contributes to body odor when it is metabolized by bacteria on the skin. (wikipedia.org)
  • Some medical conditions, such as kidney failure and diabetic ketoacidosis, can also affect sweat odor. (wikipedia.org)
  • Sweat itself has no odor, but when bacteria on the skin and hair metabolize the proteins and fatty acids, they produce an unpleasant odor. (howstuffworks.com)
  • We develop care products that offer a solution for everyday problems that affect self-confidence, such as sweat odor, acne and skin aging. (oycare.be)

  • Although sweating is found in a wide variety of mammals, relatively few (apart from humans, horses, some primates and some bovidae) produce sweat in order to cool down. (wikipedia.org)
  • Horses and humans are two of the very few mammals that really rely on sweating to regulate body temperature. (alltech.com)
  • Horses have one of the highest sweat rates of all mammals and can lose 1-12 liters of sweat per hour, meaning they can lose about 70% of their metabolic heat from evaporative sweat. (alltech.com)
  • The only mammals that sweat the same way we do are primates like monkeys and ape. (nedhardy.com)
  • Humans can produce anywhere from 10 to 14 liters of sweat a day if needed which most other mammals don't even come close to. (nedhardy.com)
  • So, the reason that humans sweat is to help regulate our internal temperature. (nedhardy.com)
  • If animals don't sweat like humans, how do they regulate their temperature? (nedhardy.com)
  • Those who work outside during hot and humid weather are familiar with sweat-soaked shirts and sweat rolling from their foreheads. (alltech.com)
  • And the soupy heat in the Gulf Coast comes with a challenge of its own: Super hot and humid air makes it hard for sweat to evaporate, because the environment is already thick with water molecules, which means more heat stays trapped inside the body, raising the risk of getting cooked from the inside out. (wdcnews6.com)
  • These are the ones that secrete the most unpleasant smelling sweat. (gralon.com)
  • This is a similar process to sweating where hot air is expelled, helping to evaporate the moisture from the mouth and then cool air is sucked in. (nedhardy.com)
  • Is sweating unique to humans? (nedhardy.com)
  • Their system of sweating is very similar to humans. (nedhardy.com)
  • They don't have as many as humans, the sweatiest mammal around, but they have enough for sweating to be their primary method of cooling themselves down. (nedhardy.com)
  • Not many animals sweat like humans do, but of course they still get hot, so how do they keep themselves cool? (nedhardy.com)
  • I think it's funny that humans have this enormous taboo about a biological function that's ultimately going to help us survive climate change," said Sarah Everts, the author of The Joy of Sweat . (wdcnews6.com)
  • They produce the watery sweat that evaporates from our skin and keeps us cool. (nedhardy.com)
  • Sweat can be made in response to nerve stimulation, hot air temperature, and/or exercise . (howstuffworks.com)
  • Low sweat production (rest, cool temperature) - Cells in the straight duct reabsorb most of the sodium and chlorine from the fluid. (howstuffworks.com)
  • High sweat production (exercise, hot temperature) - Cells in the straight portion do not have enough time to reabsorb all of sodium and chloride from the primary secretion. (howstuffworks.com)
  • Several factors can affect the amount of sweat excreted, including work intensity, temperature, humidity and level of fitness. (alltech.com)
  • Sweating helps maintain body temperature at 37°C. The larger the person, the more heat he or she has to evacuate. (gralon.com)
  • Also, the composition of this sweat is significantly different from the primary secretion. (howstuffworks.com)
  • So, a lot of sweat makes it to the surface of the skin and the composition is close to, but not exactly like the primary secretion. (howstuffworks.com)
  • Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating, usually secondary to an underlying condition (in which case it is called secondary hyperhidrosis) and usually involving the body as a whole (in which case it is called generalized hyperhidrosis). (wikipedia.org)
  • Sweating is your body's major way of getting rid of excess body heat, which is produced by metabolism or working muscles. (howstuffworks.com)
  • While some plants, such as sage, limit sweating when consumed as an herbal tea, other foods we ingest can alter our body odour. (gralon.com)
  • Sweating serves the very utilitarian purpose of cooling your body down, but you can manage your sweating so that it doesn't happen at inappropriate times. (thepotlot.co.nz)
  • Maximum sweat rates of an adult can be up to 2-4 liters per hour or 10-14 liters per day (10-15 g/min·m2), but is less in children prior to puberty. (wikipedia.org)
  • The maximum volume of sweat that a person who is not adapted to a hot climate can produce is about one liter per hour. (howstuffworks.com)
  • Amazingly, if you move to a hot climate such as the American desert southwest or the tropics, your ability to produce sweat will increase to about two to three liters per hour within about six weeks! (howstuffworks.com)
  • 2021 research led by Canadian researchers at the Nutraceutical Alliance reported increased exercise duration and sweat volume, as well as delayed onset of fatigue when three to eight liters of electrolyte water was consumed before the onset of moderate exercise. (alltech.com)
  • The liquid cools and the air around it reaches the dew point, leaving droplets of water on the metal, just like sweat! (nedhardy.com)
  • Hence, in hot weather, or when the individual's muscles heat up due to exertion, more sweat is produced. (wikipedia.org)
  • Evaporation of sweat from the skin surface has a cooling effect due to evaporative cooling. (wikipedia.org)
  • If you are sweating, consider washing the stone after you have applied it to your skin. (thepotlot.co.nz)
  • It is crucial to being human," said Yana Kamberov, a geneticist studying the evolution of sweat at the University of Pennsylvania. (wdcnews6.com)
  • This isotonic or hypertonic sweat doesn't increase plasma osmolarity, which in turn doesn't stimulate the horse's thirst response. (alltech.com)
  • Under average conditions, forage, commercial feed, and free-choice salt will cover electrolytes excreted from sweat. (alltech.com)
  • Our bodies can acclimatize to heat over a period of weeks, giving us the ability to sweat more. (wdcnews6.com)
  • This is also the reason why men sweat more than women , who are generally more slender. (gralon.com)
  • Sweating isn't bad for you (unless it's in excess and indicative of a larger problem) so you don't want to eliminate it entirely. (thepotlot.co.nz)
