Characterization of sweat induced with pilocarpine, physical exercise, and collected passively by metabolomic analysis

ConclusionsPrincipal component analysis (PCA) shows that both physical exercise and pilocarpine methods seem to be equally reproducible methods in terms of sweat metabolite composition presenting better repeatability than natural sweat collection. Nevertheless, this difference is mainly originated from amino acids with origin from the skin surface.
