Study 5 Anti Diabetic Summary
0 likes137 views
This document summarizes a research article that studied the effects of alkaline-reduced water (ARW) on diabetes in rats. The study assigned rats to either an experimental group that drank ARW or a control group that drank tap water. Over time, the rats that drank ARW had significantly lower blood glucose, triglyceride, and total cholesterol levels than the control rats. The findings suggest that long-term consumption of ARW may help control blood sugar and lipid levels.

Abstract
Alkaline-reduced water (ARW) is known to exert several anti-cancer effects, as well as to scavenge
reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduce blood-glucose levels. This study was performed in order to
determine the effects of ARW on the control of spontaneous diabetes in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima
Fatty (OLETF) rats. We assigned 16 male OLETF rats (4 wk) to two groups: an experimental group, which
was given ARW, and a control group, which received laboratory tap water. From week 6 to 32, the body
weight, lipid composition, and glucose levels in the blood of the rats were measured. The glucose levels
of both groups tended to increase. However, the ARW group's glucose levels were significantly lower
than those of the control group after 12 weeks (p<0.05). The total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in
the ARW group were found to be significantly lower than those of the control group during the
experimental period. These results suggest that ARW spurred the growth of OLETF rats during the
growth stage, and that long-term ingestion of ARW resulted in a reduction in the levels of glucose,
triglycerides, and total cholesterol in the blood.
