Not very much was known until now about the physiology of sebaceous glands--especially about the regulation of their function. The author divides primary stimuli for the function of sebaceous glands during lifetime from secondary stimuli for the common supply of sebum. Other primary stimuli are a hypophysial sebotropic factor and other hormones of the gonads and adrenal glands. Capillary attraction and the autonomous system (in a low degree) belong to the secondary stimuli. Following the opinion of renowned authors sebaceous glands and production of sebum are just a special secretoric function of the epidermis. The author voices the hypothesis that androgens can stimulate epidermal basal cells to form sebaceous glands and to produce sebum. This is only possible under certain circumstances, above all only in non-keratinised epidermis.
直到现在，人们对皮脂腺的生理学了解还不多，尤其是对其功能调节的了解。作者将皮脂腺在一生中发挥功能的主要刺激因素与皮脂共同供应的次要刺激因素区分开来。其他主要刺激因素是垂体促皮脂因子以及性腺和肾上腺的其他激素。毛细血管吸引力和自主神经系统（程度较低）属于次要刺激因素。根据知名作者的观点，皮脂腺和皮脂分泌只是表皮的一种特殊分泌功能。作者提出一种假说，即雄激素可以刺激表皮基底细胞形成皮脂腺并分泌皮脂。这只有在某些情况下才可能发生，最重要的是仅在非角质化表皮中才会发生。
