Abstract:
We have investigated change in platelets and the blood coagulation and fibrinolytic systems as a mechanism of the onset of thrombotic diseases during and after hot-spring bathing. In this study, We examined effect of 10min 42°C and 37°C hot-spring bathing on protein C, protein S and antithrombin III in seven healthy male subjects. The mean values of protein C antigen, protein C activity, total and fee protein S antigens, protein S activity and antithrombin III activity were slightly increased by both methods, while these changes were not statistically significant. Taken together with our previous reports, 10min 42°C hot-spring bathing gives no effect on the blood coagulation system.
