The differences in enzyme activity between eccrine and apocrine glands have been often used in investigations of the origin and differentiation of skin tumours (10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 22, 23, 24).
Result reported in the literature regarding the amount and distribution of the enzymes in sweat glands (1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 18, 19, 24, 25) are often controversial because of its regional, developmental and physiological variations. Besides, different histochemical methods used as well as different interpretations of obtained reactions make the problem even more difficult.
In the present study, adult axillary skin was investigated particularly toward enzymes which are claimed to be a reliable basis for sweat gland differentiation.
