whole-body heat exposure produces a fivefold rise in circulating prolactin in women
Severe whole-body hyperthermia induced by passive heating produced a fivefold increase in circulating prolactin concentration in young adult women.
What this means for you
Prolactin is a hormone tied to stress recovery, immune signaling, and mood regulation. A significant rise in its circulation suggests your body is actively responding to thermal stress in ways that may support hormonal balance and post-session recovery — particularly relevant for women navigating energy and wellness goals.
