Studies of Body Water and Water Turnover Determined with Deuterium Oxide Added to Food.

The total body water and the water turnover in pregnancy studied with deuterium oxide as isotopic tracer.

Validation Testing Demonstrates Efficacy of a 7-Day Fluid Record to Estimate Daily Water Intake in Adult Men and Women When Compared with Total Body Water Turnover Measurement.

Background: Mean daily water intake from fluids (WATER-FL) has proven to be difficult to measure because of a range of nonvalidated data collection techniques. Few questionnaires have been validated to estimate WATER-FL against self-reported diaries or urinary hydration markers, which may limit their objectivity.Objectives: The goals of this investigation were 1) to assess the validity of a 7-d...

Body composition, water turnover and physical activity among women in Narok County, Kenya

BACKGROUND In developing countries where access to water and food is not guaranteed, women may have to travel long distances or engage in intense physical activities to gather food. This may compromise their water requirements and overall nutritional status. The aim of the study was to determine water turnover, physical activity and body composition among women in Kenya and to describe the diff...

Carboxypeptidasey from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Conformational Difference Reflected in Kinetic Behaviour in Water and Deuterium Oxide

The 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 ...
