Abstract

Sweat and sebaceous glands have important roles in maintaining homoeostasis. In addition to their well-established role in thermoregulation, eccrine sweat glands have immunomodulatory, antimicrobial and excretory functions. Apocrine sweat is an odorless viscous fluid that contains precursors of odoriferous substances. Sebaceous glands contribute to skin barrier function, produce androgens, and have antimicrobial as well as pro- and anti-inflammatory activities.
