a Representative results of the iodine-starch test on human palm. Active sweat pores were visualized as brown dots upon perspiration. Systemic sweating, including palm sweating, was induced by passive heating in a footbath. b Effect of CBX pretreatment on palm sweating. The number of active sweat pores in 1 cm2 was counted. The bars represent the average. Statistics: paired t test; *P < 0.01 (n = 6; four males and two females; average age = 31.2 years).
