چکیده
The interpretation of fluctuations in body weight and changes in the state of hydration requires a knowledge of the total amount of water in the organism. This investigation has been directed towards the perfection of a method for measurement of the total body water in the human subject. The increasing availability and lowered cost of both stable and radioactive isotopes has made possible study of the total amount of liquid and solid

متن کاملThe Effect of Deuterium Depleted/Enriched Water on the Growth of A549 and HepG2 Cell Lines
Background: Although advances in cancer therapy continue to develop, the overall survival rate is poor for some cancer cases. The search for a new adjuvant strategy is the focus of cancer treatment. There is some evidence suggesting a change in the mechanism of cell function by a change in the content of deuterium in the medium. So, the aim of this study was to investigate the ...
متن کاملThe Mechanism of the Osmotic Adjustment of Body
Since permeability of cell membranes to water has been clearly demonstrated, there are several theoretically possible responses of cells to dilution of the extracellular fluid. Osmotic equilibrium might result from net movement of water into cells in response to extracellular dilution. On the other hand, net movement of water into cells might be averted by: 1) active transport of water out of c...

متن کاملPre-Clinical and Clinical Data Confirm the Anticancer Effect of Deuterium Depletion
The two stable isotopes of hydrogen, protium (1H) and deuterium (2H) differ in their physicochemical nature. Deuterium-depleted water (DDW) significantly inhibited the growth rate of different tumor cell lines in culture media and xenotransplanted MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinomas and PC-3 human prostate tumors in vivo. The apoptosis-triggering effect of DDW was demonstrat...
