WDN and Living Beings

Abstract

This chapter describes results of study of the impact (of the WDN produced by the PED) onto living organisms Goryachev et al. (Electro Med 99, First International Symposium on Nonthermal Medical/Biological Treatments Using Electromagnetic, 1999). In order to clarify and justify possibility of using the WDN as a portable water and medical agent, investigations on the experimental animals have been performed in the following areas:

• Impact of the WDN on biochemical systems and internal organs

• Impact of the WDN on antioxidant protection

• Impact of the WDN on endocrine system and intestinal microflora

• Impact of the WDN on immune system

• Estimation of genotoxicity and mutagenicity of the WDN

Aim of study was to investigate impact of WDN on biochemical systems and internal organs of rats at short (4-times day after day) intravenous and long-term (up to 3 months) use as the sole source of drinking and comprehensive study of state of basic physiological and biochemical systems by the activity of serum blood enzymes, by the content in serum blood of metabolites, and according to the morphological studies in long-term use by animals of WDN as the sole source of drinking and at its short-term intravenous injection. Study in accordance with available publications and methodic guidelines was performed.
