Abstract

Purpose: Water is magnetically charged upon contact with a magnet. Although magnetic water products have been promoted since the 1930's, they have not received wide acceptance since their effectiveness is still in question; however, some have reported their therapeutic effects on the body, especially the digestive, nervous, and urinary systems. Methods: In this study, the effect of magnetized water on glycemic control of 14 diabetic mice (CB57BK/KsJ-db/db) in comparison with 10 control mice (CB57BK/KsJ-db/+(db/+)) was investigated. Seven diabetic control (DMC) mice and seven diabetic mice + magnetized water (DM+MW) were kept for 16 weeks, followed by intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT). Weekly blood glucose was measured from tail veins. Blood obtained from heart puncture was used for HbA1c analysis. Results: Blood glucose level showed a significant difference starting from the $10^{th}$ week of study ($496.1{\pm}10.2mg/dl$ in DMC vs. $437.9{\pm}76.9mg/dl$ in DM+MW). Blood glucose followed by IPGTT showed no significant difference between groups at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min, although glucose level at 180 min was significantly reduced in DM+MW mice. Plasma insulin level in DM+MW groups was only 39.5% of that of DMC groups ($5.97{\pm}1.69ng/ml$ in DMC vs. $2.36{\pm}0.94ng/ml$ in DM+MW). Levels of HbA1c were 12.4% and 9.7% in DMC and DM+MW groups, respectively. Conclusion: These results show the promising therapeutic effect of magnetized water in regulating blood glucose homeostasis; however, long-term supplementation or mechanistic study is necessary.

자화수는 가격이 비싸지 않고 쉽게 만들 수 있으며 환경 친화적인 음용수임에도 불구하고 자화수 섭취의 건강상의 유익에 관해서는 과학적인 문헌이 매우 제한적이다. 본 연구는 유전적 소인에 의해 제2형 당뇨병이 발현되는 모델인 db/db 마우스 6주령 14마리를 당뇨군과 자화수군으로 나누어 각 7마리씩 배치하고, 이형접합체 마우스 10마리를 대조군으로 하여 총 3군으로 나누어 16주 동안 자화수를 투여하였다. 혈당 강하 효과를 보기 위해 공복혈당, 인슐린 농도, 내당능 검사, 당화 헤모글로빈을 측정 하였고, DNA 손상 감소 효과, 항산화 상태를 알아보았다. 당뇨군과 자화수군의 혈당치는 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높았으며, 당뇨군의 혈당은 자화수 섭취 16주까지 높게 지속되었으나 자화수군의 혈당은 섭취 10주 후부터 유의적으로 감소하였다. 혈중 당화헤모글로빈 함량도 마찬가지로 대조군보다 당뇨군에서 증가하였고 자화수군에서는 유의적으로 감소하였으나 경구 당부하 검사 결과, 혈당 곡선하면적 (area under the curve, AUC)은 당뇨군과 자화수 투여군 사이에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 당뇨쥐의 DNA 손상 정도는 세 가지 지표 (DNA in tail, tail length, tail moment) 모두 자화수군이 당뇨군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였으며 이러한 효과는 혈액과 간에서 모두 나타났다. 적혈구 항산화 효소인 SOD, GSH-Px glutathione peroxidase 활성도는 대조군, 당뇨군, 자화수군 간에 차이를 보이지 않았고, 혈장 총항산화능인 TRAP 수준도 자화수 섭취로 인한 차이를 볼 수 없었다. 결론적으로 자화수 투여가 db/db mouse를 사용한 제2형 당뇨의 혈당 강하를 포함한 glycemic control에 유리한 개선효과를 보일 뿐 아니라 혈액과 간의 DNA 손상 감소효과까지 보임을 확인하였다. 그러나 그 기전에 대해서는 확실하게 규명하지 못하였으므로 앞으로 자화 수음용 효과를 뒷받침할 더욱 깊고 다양한 기전 연구가 수행되어야 할 것이다.
