The production rate and composition of cerumen have been studied in 11 participants (5 men and 6 women), 25 to 42 years old. The cerumen was obtained in January, May, July, and November to investigate the possible influence of the season. Only the triglyceride content decreased from November to July. Sex was not a factor, which supported the hypothesis that sex hormones play a minor role in the production rate of the lipid component of cerumen.
对11名年龄在25至42岁之间的参与者（5名男性和6名女性）的耵聍分泌率和成分进行了研究。在1月、5月、7月和11月采集耵聍，以调查季节可能产生的影响。仅甘油三酯含量从11月到7月有所下降。性别不是一个影响因素，这支持了性激素在耵聍脂质成分分泌率中起次要作用的假设。
