In order to establish possible different reactions between normal subjects and cocaine addicts to short term exposure to heat, thermal, cardiovascular and pituitary hormonal responses to hyperthermia in sauna were measured in 8 male cocaine addicts (studied after 14 days of abstinence) and in 8 age and weight matched normal men. Subjects sat for 30 min in a sauna room, where the temperature was 90 C and the relative humidity 10%. Physiological and hormonal parameters were measured just before and after sauna and after 30 min of rest at normal (21 C) room temperature. Significant and comparable increments in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate and sublingual temperature were observed in the two groups at the end of sauna. All these parameters decreased to normal values after 30 min of rest at normal room temperature. Before sauna, ACTH, cortisol and beta-endorphin levels were similar in the two groups, whereas plasma prolactin concentrations were significantly higher in cocaine addicts. All examined hormones rose significantly in the normal controls at the end of sauna. All hormones, except cortisol, returned to the basal levels after 30 min at normal room temperature. In contrast, no significant hormonal responses to hyperthermia were observed at any time point in cocaine addicts. These data do not provide evidence of alterations in the cardiovascular and thermal adaptive responses to hyperthermia in cocaine abusers. On the other hand, the results show an impairment of the ACTH/cortisol, beta-endorphin and prolactin responses to hyperthermia in cocaine addicts.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Lithium, når du nu ser at der står "44", hvad tænker du så? Det overrasker mig lidt at du ikke tjekker hvad nr 44 er, så finder du nemmere ud af hvad der står Men så er det godt vi har mig:

jeg fulgte skam referencen ind til pubmed Friche - men kunne ikke få adgang til andet end det abstract så valgte bare at bruge wikipedias tekst for brugervenlighedens skyld, men derfor er det stadig godt vi har dig

Hvad er foresten din vurdering ? Vil det gøre nogen som helst mærkbar forskel at få hævet hormon-niveauet via sauna 1-2 gange om ugen eller er der faktorer der udligner det eller sågar trækker den anden vej ?

Before sauna, ACTH, cortisol and beta-endorphin levels were similar in the two groups, whereas plasma prolactin concentrations were significantly higher in cocaine addicts.
