Heat Shock proteins - lower stress - lower bend risks

Philippe GERIN · 26th July 2005, 14:27

Hi Guys,
I am after some info/article concerning "stress protein" as Heat Shock Proteins in relation with breathing gaz under pressure.
I have some brief info that a research team from university of Malta has shown some beneficial effects of a molecule that would increase significantly the endogenous production of HSP (on a team of divers(?)) leading to a lower stress and a quicker cellular restoration therefore deacreasing the risks of bends.
Anyone knows more?

Philippe,

I am not specifically familiar with the Maltese research, but Tom Mount of IANTD has done a lot of research into that kind of question. Perhaps a bit of poking about in his writings would provide you with some information?

Thanks Rob,
I'll browse through Tom's work.

Hey Phillipe, that would make for some interesting reading. If you find some stuff would you mind dropping a link or info back to here so those interested can follow along.?
Thanks Wiz

Hi Phillipe,

the Israelis have also done similar research. I think they also found a reduction in susceptibility to CNS toxicity. You should be able to track it down through one of the online medical/scientific journal indexes. The brain produced proteins during heat stroke which when isolated caused those benefits in lab animals.

Cheers,

Stuart

Ha, The protein you are talking about is into a cactus which just grows wild everywhere here in Malta especially in Gozo where I am from. In fact I have some in my garden acting as windshield. Maybe it is time to start eating the *****ly pear !!!!!

At the NAUI deep stops conference in Tampa a few years back there was research presented on the topic. I will have to see if I can find the conference overview booklet and pull up the researcher's name.. (I do know the entire precedings were available from nauitech)

There were several abstracts and papers on hsp's presented at the UHMS conference in june. You might be able to search the website: www.uhms.org
