Abstract:One of the consequences of exposure to exertional heat stroke (EHS) is marked damage to the GI tract. GI damage is believed to promote EHS‐induced activation of the immune system and to be a major contributor to the morbidity and mortality of EHS. We hypothesized that the use of non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), so commonly used in exercising humans, would amplify this damage, make subjects more susceptible to EHS and result in greater GI damage and inflammation. We also hypothesized that the use… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
