Abstract

The present study carried out on white male rats in experiments with the use of biochemical, radioimmunological, and electron- microscopic methods. It was shown that the combined treatment with potable mineral water (MV) and low-intensity electromagnetic radiation (LIEMR) of ultrahigh frequency (power density less than 1 pW/cm2, the frequency about 1000 MHz) facilitated the activation of metabolic and intracellular regenerative processes in the liver and testes. One of the advantages of the combined application of MV and LIEMR over the single-factor treatment manifested itself as the weakening of stress reactions, the increase in the frequency of the plastic processes, and the more harmonious development of different forms of intracellular regeneration. The results of the study provide a deeper insight ino the mechanisms underlying the combined actions of drinking mineral water and low-intensity electromagnetic radiation; also, they justify the application of these factors for the protection of the reproductive system and the entire body from stress-induced disorders.

Main findings

In white male rats under immobilization stress, combined treatment with potable mineral water and low-intensity ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic radiation (power density <1 pW/cm2; ~1000 MHz) was reported to facilitate activation of metabolic and intracellular regenerative processes in the liver and testes. Compared with single-factor treatment, the combined application was associated with weakened stress reactions and more frequent/harmonious intracellular regenerative (plastic) processes.
