Fig 1. The properties of sweat from patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and healthy subjects (HS).

Fig 1

(a) Time required to obtain 5 ml of sweat (HS n = 10, AD n = 13). Analysis of: (b) pH (HS n = 10, AD n = 15); (c) protein concentration (HS n = 10, AD n = 17); (d) sodium concentration (HS n = 10, AD n = 14); and (e) other salt content (HS n = 9, AD n = 20). Concentration in sweat of anti-microbial peptides, including: (f) LL-37 (HS n = 6, AD n = 16); (g) dermcidin (HS n = 6, AD n = 17); and (h) β-defensin (HS n = 6, AD n = 17). F-test values represent individual variability within the sample.
