Dear Editor
Ogura et al. [1] demonstrated that microwave hyperthermia treatment increases HSP27, HSP72 and HSP90 content of human skeletal muscle. We have also employed a passive heating protocol entailing submersion of one limb (to the level of the gluteal fold) in warm water maintained at approximately 45°C [2]. Our protocol induced an increase in muscle temperature to 39.5°C and we failed to observe any increas...
