Glucose Metabolism of the Isolated Eccrine Sweat Gland: II. THE RELATION BETWEEN GLUCOSE METABOLISM AND SODIUM TRANSPORT

Abstract

This paper attempts to further clarify the characteristics of Mecholyl- or epinephrine-stimulated glucose metabolism in the isolated monkey eccrine sweat gland with special emphasis on its relationship to increased sodium transport. The Mecholyl- or epinephrine-stimulated glucose metabolism (as estimated by either lactate or 14CO2 production or both) is seen only in the secretory coil and not in the duct. It is markedly suppressed in the absence of glucose, Na+, or K+. It is inhibited by ouabain (10−3 M) and partially suppressed in a low-sodium (40 mM), high-potassium (100 mM) medium.
