Dysregulation mechanism of the influence of water of negative redox potential on kidney function
Elucidate the dysregulatory mechanism of the effect of water load of negative redox potential in comparison with induced diuresis with ordinary tap water on the functional state of the kidneys.Material and methods. The experiments were carried out on 40 male white nonlinear rats weighing 0.16-0.18 kg with the analysis of the effect of water loading with a negative redox potential on renal function, which was obtained by treating tap water with microhydrin. The redox potential of water and urine was determined with an ORP meter. From the indicators of renal function studied: protein excretion, glomerular filtration, filtration fraction of sodium ions, its absolute and proximal reabsorption. Statistical processing of the data obtained, including multivariate regression analysis, was carried out using the Statgrafics, Statistica, and Excel 2003 programs.Results. Comparative multivariate analysis of the effect of water loading of negative redox potential in comparison with induced diuresis with ordinary tap water revealed an ambiguous nature of reliable correlations (p <0.05) between the studied indicators of renal function and the redox potential of urine, which is due to the simultaneous presence of both protective mechanisms of negative redox potential influence (improvement of energy supply, antioxidant effect), and damaging (transient renal ischemia due to activation of the basal tone mechanism due to an increase in the contractile function of the heart as a result of improving its energy supply), the final result will depend on the dominance of classical or dysregulation mechanisms in this particular situation. Conclusion. The dysregulation mechanism of the effect of water of negative redox potential on renal function is due to the initial mobilization of defense reactions with improved contractile function of the heart, which is subsequently transformed into an injury response due to increased basal renal vascular tone with the development of transient ischemia and renal dysfunction, decrease оf glomerular filtration, filtration fraction of sodium ions, its absolute and proximal reabsorption and development of proteinuria.
