A team of scientists studied how short-term heat exposure affected the immune system's defense network, finding inflammatory changes even with mild heat, indicating immune response activation.
Higher temperatures triggered the immune system's first responders, such as cytokines, natural killer T cells, and monocytes, signifying inflammation that can be harmful if prolonged.
Research raises concerns about the long-term consequences of rising global temperatures on immune function and highlights the importance of understanding the impact of climate change on health.
The study presented at the American Heart Association conference analyzed immune biomarkers in individuals during warmer days, revealing how heat influences the body's immune response.
