Apocrine

Apocrine glands are glands that secrete their secretions through ducts located on the surface of the skin. They are important for regulating various body functions such as sweating, sebum production and protecting the skin from external irritants.

Apocrine glands are located on the scalp, face, chest, back, arms and legs. They begin to function during puberty and continue to function until old age. However, in some people they may be underdeveloped or absent entirely.

The secretions of the apocrine glands contain proteins, fats and other components that help protect the skin from harmful environmental influences. In addition, they are involved in the regulation of body temperature and are an important factor in the development of hair and nails.

However, excessive secretion of apocrine secretions can lead to various problems such as acne, seborrhea, eczema and other skin diseases. Therefore, it is important to monitor the state of the apocrine system and take measures to maintain it.

One way to keep your apocrine glands healthy is through proper nutrition. Eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, walnuts, and avocados, may help improve apocrine gland function and reduce the risk of developing skin conditions.

It is also important to avoid stressful situations and exercise regularly, as physical activity improves blood circulation and metabolism in the body.
