Neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio and cell-free DNA dynamics during excessive heat stress in occupational and experimental settings

Puntos clave

• Heat stress leads to significant changes in the neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio and cell-free DNA levels, indicating inflammation.
• The observed fluctuations arise from both occupational exposure and controlled experimental conditions, affecting health outcomes.
• Analysis included both work environments and experimental settings to track immune response dynamics during extreme temperatures.
• Understanding these interactions highlights the need for protective strategies against heat stress in vulnerable populations.
