Many of the genes repressed during cold shock are involved in cell metabolism. By knowing the mechanism by which these genes respond, one can potentially tune it, in genetically modified bacteria, to modify at which temperature is the response to cold shock activated. This modification could reduce the energy costs of bioreactors. [11]
While traditional saunas elevate air temperatures to high levels (ranging from 176 to over 200 degrees F) to gradually increase body temperature, infrared saunas employ invisible infrared light to ...
Recent research on mice suggests that daily exposure to a warm environment, like a sauna, could help older adults, particularly women, combat age-related obesity and insulin resistance.
