Sweat chloride excretion was studied by pilocarpine iontophoresis during total fasting of six obese men. The salt content of sweat did not decrease during fasting although the electrolyte content of the urine did. Although aldosterone is primarily responsible for the conservation of salt by the kidneys, additional factors appear to be involved in the conservation of electrolytes by sweat glands.
