Abstract in brief

  • This study investigates how a 7-day cold water exposure affects cellular responses related to cell survival and death in young men, focusing on processes called autophagy (cell cleanup) and apoptosis (cell death).
  • Researchers found that after 7 days, autophagy increased and signs of cell death and inflammation decreased, suggesting that cold acclimation helps cells better tolerate cold conditions.
  • Although the body's heat shock response remained unchanged, improvements in how cells handle cold stress were seen through enhanced autophagy and reduced apoptosis, indicating that short-term cold exposure can boost cellular cold tolerance.]

A week of cold plunge enhanced autophagy in young men & eliminated damaged, infected, or unnecessary cells to help maintain tissue integrity and prevent disease. I'll bet it works in women & older men, too. https://t.co/gFIvVUfkXn https://t.co/Ia92rJXJma

Cold plunges trigger autophagy! Repeated cold-water immersions over a 7-day period enhances cellular cold tolerance as evidenced through an increase in autophagic activity and attenuated apoptotic responses to post-acclimation cold exposure https://t.co/8GjJI00s0Y
