Electrolyzed and Natural Reduced Water Exhibit Insulin-Like Activity on Glucose Uptake into Muscle ...

Year Published: 1999

In the type 2 diabetes, it has become clear that reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause reduction of glucose uptake by inhibiting the insulin-signaling pathway in muscle cells and adipocytes. We demonstrated that electrolyzed-reduced water (ERW) scavenges ROS and protects DNA from oxidative damage1). Here we found that ERW scavenges ROS in insulin-responsive L6 myotubes and mouse3T3/L1 adipocytes. ...
