Naomi Wilson asked the Naked Scientists:
Hi Dr Chris,
I enjoy listening to your show (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/) every week! It makes a great podcast (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/) to listen to anywhere.
I have a physiological question. Do people with greater muscle mass sweat more than those who have more fat? Muscles generate heat when working, so would that create a greater cooling response by the body via increased sweating?
It's something I've often wondered about!
Hope you can help
Naomi, Belfast
