Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for measuring perspiration on the body surface of a sweat-emitting living being, comprising at least one foil-like and / or textile surface portion, at least one sensor unit, at least one data acquisition unit.
- Sweat glands secreted secreted aqueous secretion Two kinds of sweat glands are distinguished according to the kind of their secretion: so-called eccrine and apocrine
- the eccrine sweat glands in humans are distributed practically throughout the body and can produce considerable amounts of a clear, odorless secretion that consists of more than 99 percent water and, in particular, electrolytes such as Na +, Cl-, K +, lactate and amino acids as well Contains urea.
- the sweat still contains sugar and ascorbic acid in low concentrations.
- the pH is in the acidic range at pH 4.5.
- the apocrine sweat glands occur only in the hairy body areas of the armpit and genital region and on the nipples. They produce small amounts of a milky secretion that contains proteins and lipids and is almost pH-neutral (pH 7.2).
- Fresh sweat is completely odorless. Only the degradation of long-chain fatty acids to shorter chains such as butyric acid or formic acid ensures the typical smell of sweat. There are various responsible for the natural skin flora bacteria responsible. One exception is puberty: Various hormonal processes in the body can also smell fresh sweat.
- the process of sweating is also called transpiration.
- Excessive, pathological secretion of sweat is called hyperhidrosis; in the case of reduced or completely absent sweat production it is called hypo- or anhidrosis.
- Sweating is perceived by many people as unpleasant, since the secretion of sweat in the spirit is associated with the formation of sweat odor. People therefore try to suppress the formation of sweat or the smell of sweat.
