Mechanisms of Autonomic Dysfunction Associated with Extreme Exertional Heat Stroke and Potential Efficacy of Novel Pharmacological Treatments

Abstract

This project was designed to evaluate a novel approach in the treatment of heat-related injury, in an animal model, and hypothesized that the identification of changes in ANS regulation associated with chronic exertional heat stress may hold a key to: 1) determining a primary cause of heat-related maladies, and 2) designing effective prevention and/or treatment approaches.
