Abstract:
Electrolyzed reduced water (ERW) containing hydrogen molecules and Pt nanoparticles is expected as a new antioxidant. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay revealed that ERW had an inhibitory effect on the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). In addition, ERW significantly suppressed LDL oxidation in the medium cultured J.774.A1 macrophage like cells. ERW inhibited Cu2+ ion-catalyzed oxidation of LDL ex vivo. ERW lowered lipid peroxide level in blood red cells and plasma triglyceride in rats fed a basal diet containing 2% cholesterol. These results suggest that ERW has anti-LDL oxidation and anti-hyperlipidemia effects.
