Abstract Global trends focus on a balanced intake of foods and beverages to maintain health. Drinking water (MIU; hardness = 88) produced from deep sea water (DSW) collected offshore of Muroto, Japan, is considered healthy. We previously reported that the DSW-based drinking water (RDSW; hardness = 1000) improved human gut health. The aim of this […]

Conclusion Deep seawater is an inexhaustible and inexhaustible renewable resource. Deep sea water related products have the characteristics of high added value and outstanding economic benefits. With thedeepening of research on physical, chemical and biological aspects of deep seawater, its application range will become wider and wider, and its utilization value will also attract worldwide

Abstract World health trends are focusing on a balanced food and beverage intake for healthy life. Refined deep-sea water (RDSW), obtained from deep-sea water collected offshore in Muroto (Japan), is mineral-rich drinking water. We previously reported that drinking RDSW improves human gut health. Here, we analyzed the effect of drinking RDSW on the gut ecosystem

Abstract Using surface and deep seawater collected in the sea area of Muroto Cape (Kochi, Japan), desalinated drinking samples of about 1200 hardness were prepared and examined for the effects on the prevention of atherosclerosis in dietary induced hyperlipidemia rabbits. The plasma LDL cholesterol level was lower in the deep seawater group than in the

ABSTRACT Three different deep-seawater (DSW) treated by means of reverse osmosis (RO DSW), electrodialysis (ED DSW) and 10% (v/v) dilution with ddH2O (10% DSW) were as treated groups, while distilled water (NDW) was the control group. Body weight changes, feed and water intakes of high-cholesterol dietary mice were not (P < 0.05) influenced by drinking different waters.

Abstract It has been found that deep-sea water was associated with lower serum lipid in animal model studies. Herein, we investigated whether DSW exerted a hypolipidemic activity and further elucidated how DSW modulated lipid metabolism in HepG2 cells. Preliminary animal studies showed that DSW exhibited potency to decrease serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol,

Abstract Both adiponectin, an adipokine secreted by adipocytes, and vanadium compounds, have been extensively shown to enhance insulin sensitivity in vivo and in vitro. In this study we examined whether insulin and vanadyl sulfate (VS) affected adiponectin release and cell content from 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and whether they acted through a similar signaling pathway. Adiponectin cell

Abstract The aim of this paper is to review current knowledge about the essentiality of trivalent chromium for animal and human nutrition, and its biological function with special reference to its role in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, dietary intake and recommendations.

Abstract Chromium (Cr) has been studied since the end of the 19th century, when carcinogeniceffects of hexavalent Cr were discovered. Essentiality of trivalent Cr was demonstrated in1959; Cr3+ has been studied in humans and laboratory animals since the 1970s and it isonly since the 1990s that Cr has been studied as an essential element in
