심부체온 상승이 폐경 비만 여성의 림프구감소증 억제에 미치는 효과

초록

This study explored whether thermotherapy affect to core temperature, T cell, B cell and NK cell impacting human immunity. Fifteen menopausal obese women (age; 53.62 ± 4.21 years, height; 160.83 ± 5.16cm, weight; 64.37 ± 5.80kg, %body fat; 31.85 ± 4.22) underwent thermotherapy (half-body immersion, 40±0.5°C, 30 min). Before and After thermotherapy, the levels of tympanic temperature (Tty), T cell, B cell and NK cell were compared. The results of the study are as follows, Tty was significantly increased (### p<.001). T cell (## p<.01), B cell (### p<.001) and NK cell (## p<.01) level were significantly increased after thermotherapy. In conclusion, thermotherapy is effective in inhibit lymphopenia via raising core temperature. Furthermore, it is believed that resistance to infectious diseases can be increased.
