Although betel chewing produces sweating, facial flush and a warm sensation of the body, objective documentation of the temperature effect has not been available. In this report, the skin temperature of the ear and forehead was recorded before and during betel chewing in healthy betel chewers. Betel chewing produced a mean temperature increase of 2 degrees C and 0.5 degree C, respectively, for the ear and forehead. This hyperthermic response was almost completely abolished by atropine and partially inhibited by propranolol. The present data suggest that both sympathetic and parasympathetic mechanisms are involved in the skin thermal response to betel chewing.
尽管嚼槟榔会导致出汗、面部潮红和身体有温热感，但关于其温度效应的客观记录尚无可用资料。在本报告中，记录了健康嚼槟榔者在嚼槟榔前和嚼槟榔过程中耳朵和额头的皮肤温度。嚼槟榔时，耳朵和额头的平均温度分别升高了2摄氏度和0.5摄氏度。这种体温过高反应几乎完全被阿托品消除，被普萘洛尔部分抑制。目前的数据表明，交感神经和副交感神经机制均参与了嚼槟榔引起的皮肤热反应。
