Impact of passive heat stress and passive heat acclimation on circulating extracellular vesicles: An exploratory analysis.

EVs (-192,915/ml [-690,166, 304,336], P = 0.828) did not differ during heat stress. The change in circulating EVs during passive heat stress did not differ after heat acclimation (thermal state × acclimation interactions, all P ≥ 0.180). These results demonstrate that passive heat stress increases the circulating concentration of total and platelet EVs and that passive heat acclimation does not alter this increase.
