Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study examined the effects of hot fomentation on metabolism by applying thermal sheets to thigh skeletal muscles. The subjects were twelve healthy people who were asked to apply thermal loads to the thigh skeletal muscles for ten weeks.Following the application, a significant increase was noted in serum adiponectin (p=0.033), but no significant change was noted in the fasting serum insulin, serum glucose and HOMA-IR. In women, a significant decrease was noted in the serum soluble form of urokinase type plasminogen activator receptor (p=0.046).Thermal load to the skeletal muscles caused a rise in the serum adiponectin, suggesting that this manipulation reduced body fat, elevated blood temperature, and increased blood flow to stimulate adiponection secretion from the adipocytes.
Although this thermal stimulation also induced changes in the gene expression of factors promoting ASCVD, the protective effects of thermal stimulation against ASCVD were predominant in SkMC.
