Mobilization of Bone Marrow-Derived Endothelial Progenitor Cells following Finnish Sauna: A Pilot Study.
CONCLUSION: Peripheral EPC numbers exhibited a moderate increase following Finnish sauna in a cohort of healthy young men. Furthermore, sauna bathing tended to increase EPC colony-forming capacity. These rather weak responses to thermotherapy might indicate a ceiling effect. In individuals exhibiting cardiovascular risk factors the effects may be more pronounced.
