Abstract
Summary
1. Thermal sweat, as collected in this study is a moderately acid secretion low in ammonia and titratable acid. 2. Ingestion of a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (6063), sodium bicarbonate and ammonium chloride had no effect on the acid-base composition of sweat regardless of changes in composition of extracellular fluid and urine. 3. Sweat glands have no regulatory role in the maintenance of hydrogen ion concentration of body fluids.
