Role of organic carbon and nitrogen of mineral waters in their immunomodulating effects at female rats

Background. Drinking mineral water is one of the ethnopharmacologic factors. Organic substances, despite their presence in all drinking mineral waters, are still considered to be active only in the water of Naftussya type (which, due to mineralization less than 1 g/L, are not formally mineral), whereas the physiological activity of true mineral waters (which mineralization is greater than 1-2 g/L) are associated with electrolytes and trace elements. Previously, we identified the role of organic carbon and nitrogen of mineral waters in their effects on certain metabolic and neuro-endocrine parameters. The purpose of this study is to clarify the role of organic substances of same mineral waters in their effects on immunity parameters. Material and methods. Experiment was performed on 48 healthy female Wistar rats 240-290 g divided into 5 groups. Animals of the first group for 6 days administered a single tap water through the tube at a dose of 1,5 mL/100 g of body mass. In the second group we administered the water Naftussya from the Truskavets’ layer (Galychyna, Ukraine), in the third group the water Sophiya of the Truskavets’ field. The rats of the fourth group received the native water from the Hertsa (Bucovyna, Ukraine) field, and the last group received its artificial salt analogue. The day after the completion of the drinking course in all rats immunne parameters were registered. Results. On the basis of the correlation analysis with step-by-step exclusion, 9 immune parameters (Endotheliocytes of Thymus, Spleen Mass Index, Entropy of Splenocytogram, Natural Killers, B- and 0-Lymphocytes, Rod-shaped Neutrophils, Phagocytic Index and Microbian Count of Monocytes of Blood) are included in the regressive model for organic nitrogen (R=0,818) and 6 parameters (Endotheliocytes of Thymus, Fibroblastes and Reticulocytes of Spleen, Pan-Lymphocytes, Microbian Count of Neutrophils and Phagocytic Index of Monocytes of Blood) for organic carbon (R=0,690). Together, the organic components of the chemical composition of loading fluids determine their effect on the immune parameters by 77%. Conclusion. Organic substances of mineral waters play an essential role in their effects on the immune parameters of female rats

Role of trace elements of mineral waters in their effects on neuro-endocrine-immune complex at female rats

Background. Drinking mineral water is one of the ethnopharmacologic factors. Previously, we identified the role of organic carbon and nitrogen of mineral waters in their effects on certain metabolic and neuro-endocrine-immune parameters. The purpose of this study is to clarify the role of trace elements of same mineral waters in their effects on neuro-endocrine-immune complex parameters. Material and methods. Experiment was performed on 48 healthy female Wistar rats 240-290 g divided into 5 groups. Animals of the first group for 6 days administered a single tap water through the tube at a dose of 1,5 mL/100 g of body mass. In the second group we administered the water Naftussya from the Truskavets’ layer (Galychyna, Ukraine), in the third group the water Sophiya of the Truskavets’ field. The rats of the fourth group received the native water from the Hertsa (Bucovyna, Ukraine) field, and the last group received its artificial salt analogue. The day after the completion of the drinking course in all rats HRV, endocrine and immunne parameters were registered. Results. The trace elements (fluoride, bromide, iodide, meta-silicic and orthoboric acids) of the chemical composition of loading fluids determine their effect on the neuro-endocrine parameters by 59%, on the immune parameters by 84%. Conclusion. The trace elements (fluoride, bromide, iodide, meta-silicic and orthoboric acids) of mineral waters play an essential role in their effects on the neuro-endocrine-immune parameters of female rats

Canonical analysis of neuroendocrine-metabolic and neuroendocrine-immune relationships at female rats

Background. It has been shown before that drinking mineral waters of different composition has a significant effect on the neuroendocrine, metabolic and immune parameters of healthy rats. We analyzed the canonical correlations between neuroendocrine parameters, on the one hand, and metabolic and immune parameters, on the other hand. Materials and Methods. Experiment was performed on 58 healthy female Wistar rats 240-290 g. HRV parameters, major adaptation hormones, metabolism and immunity parameters were recorded. Results. The method of canonical correlation analysis revealed causal relationships between neuroendocrine and metabolic and neuroendocrine and immune parameters of the organism. The degree of neuroendocrine determination of individual sets of metabolic parameters ranges from 60% to 92%, and immune status from 87% to 96,5%. Conclusion. Effects of mineral waters on metabolism and immunity are realized through nervous and hormonal mechanisms

Marketing in the digital age: cultural values as agents of socially responsible marketing in the digital economy

The purpose of the article is to determine the relationship between the characteristics of social marketing stakeholders and the degree of development of marketing systems in the digital economy. The results of the study are based on a critical analysis of the tools and processes of functioning of marketing systems in the context of digitalisation, and the changes it causes in marketing systems at basic and extended levels due to specific features inherent in the digital economy. The concept of cultural dimensions by Hofstede (2010) is applied to determine the collective behavioural characteristics of the most numerous stakeholders of social marketing, which are members of society in selected countries. A positive statistically significant correlation between the share of online shoppers against the indulgence index (R=.77) and the individualism index (R=.73) was found. There is a negative statistically significant correlation between the share of online shoppers against uncertainty avoidance (R=-.76), power distance (R=-.67), gender culture type (R=-.27) and long-term orientation (R=-.27). In general, a significant part of the expected impact of uncertainty avoidance is taken over by mechanisms that guarantee the protection of personal data from unauthorised use and security from fraud and crime committed in cyberspace

Assessment of the rate of glomerular filtration by a non-invasive method

Background. Existing methods for assessing glomerular filtration rate (GF) are invasive. Therefore, we set ourselves the goal of evaluating the rate of glomerular filtration by a non-invasive method. Materials and Methods. The object of observations were 10 men aged 37-69 years without clinical diagnosis tested twice with 7-days interval. The rate of glomerular filtration was calculated according to endogenous creatinine clearance and the Cockcroft & Gault formula. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure was measured three times in a row. The state of the autonomic nervous system was assessed by the HRV method. Results. We confirmed the significant correlation of GF with age and weight. The screening revealed a significant correlation of GF with a number of blood pressure and HRV parameters. If in the classic formula we replace creatinineemia with systolic blood pressure and HRV-markers of sympathetic tone, we get a formula for estimating the GF with a standard error of 10,9 mL/min vs 2,7 mL/min, but without blood sampling. The regression model, which includes HRV and blood pressure parameters, as well as urinary creatinine concentration, allows estimating GF with a standard error of 12 mL/min. Conclusion. The balneotherapy has a significant effect not only on blood creatinine level, but also on HRV and blood pressure parameters, and even more pronounced. Therefore, the estimation of GF based only on the Cockcroft & Gault formula is at least not much more accurate than the one proposed by us, besides, our method is completely non-invasive

Relationships between glomerular filtration rate and HRV/EEG parameters

Background. Sympathetic outflow may be capable of selectively increasing or decreasing glomerular capillary pressure and hence glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by differentially activating separate populations of renal nerves. Sympathetic outflow to the kidney is regulated by major cortical, brainstem and medullary areas. The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship between GFR and HRV/EEG parameters as markers of the neural regulation of the kidney. Materials and Methods. The object of observations were 10 men aged 37-69 years without clinical diagnosis tested twice with 7-days interval. The rate of glomerular filtration was calculated according to endogenous creatinine clearance and the Cockcroft & Gault formula. The state of the autonomic nervous system was assessed by the HRV method. Simultaneosly qEEG recorded. Results. For the sample as a whole, a weak (r=0.396; p>0.05) correlation was found between HRV-marker of sympathetic tone and GFR. However, two clusters of individuals can be distinguished: with a strong correlation (r=0.852; n=12) and its complete absence (n=8). The qEEG method revealed neural structures generating delta and theta rhythms that upregulate GFR, and generating beta rhythm that downregulate GFR. The regression model, which includes 16 EEG parameters, allows estimating GFR with a standard error of 3,4 mL/min. Conclusion. Glomerular filtration rate is subject to the modulatory regulatory influence of the nervous system and can be estimated with high accuracy by EEG parameters

General non-specific metabolic, neuroendocrine and immune reactions to various water-salt loads in female rats

Background. This article begins with a series of articles on the effects on parameters of water-salt, nitrous and lipid metabolism, as well as the neuroendocrine-immune complex of mineral water, extracted from the bore located in the city Gertsa (Bukovyna, Ukraine). The chemical analysis prompted us to use waters Sophiya and Naftussya from spa Truskavets’ as a reference as well as an artificial salt analogue of Gertsa water, which contains no organic matter or trace elements. Materials and methods. Experiment was performed on 58 healthy female Wistar rats 240-290 g divided into 6 groups. Animals of the first group remained intact, using tap water from drinking ad libitum. Instead, the other rats received the same tap water as well as waters Sophiya, Naftussya, Gertsa and its artificial salt analogue through the probe at a dose of 1,5 mL/100 g of body mass for 6 days. The day after the completion of the drinking course in all rats the parameters of metabolism and neuroendocrine-immune complex were registered. Results. Screening registered parameters found 42 among them who in rats subjected to water-salt loads, significantly different from that of intact rats, but on average the same group of animals that received liquids with different mineralization and chemical composition. Conclusion. Takes place nonspecific (general) reaction neuroendocrine-immune complex and metabolism in water-salt load as such, regardless of the specific chemical composition of fluids applied

Role of organic carbon and nitrogen of mineral waters in their metabolic effects at female rats

Background. Organic substances, despite their presence in all drinking mineral waters, are still considered to be active only in the water of Naftussya type (which, due to mineralization less than 1 g/L, are not formally mineral), whereas the physiological activity of true mineral waters (which mineralization is greater than 1-2 g/L) are associated with electrolytes and trace elements. The purpose of this study was to clarify the role of organic carbon and nitrogen of mineral waters in their effects on certain parameters of metabolism. Material and Methods. Experiment was performed on 48 healthy female Wistar rats 240-290 g divided into 5 groups. Animals of the first group for 6 days administered a single tap water through the probe at a dose of 1,5 mL/100 g of body mass. In the second group we administered the water Naftussya from the Truskavets’ layer, in the third group the water Sophiya of the Truskavets’ field. The rats of the fourth group received the native water from the Gertsa (Bucovyna) field, and the last group its artificial salt analogue. The day after the completion of the drinking course in all rats some metabolic parameters were registered. Results. On the basis of the correlation analysis with step-by-step exclusion, four metabolites of blood as well as five metabolites of urine are included in the regressive model for organic carbon (R=0,697; R2=0,486; Adjusted R2=0,347; F(10,4)=3,5; p=0,0025). Organic nitrogen of mineral waters affects five metabolic parameters of urine only, but with approximately the same force (R=0,621; R2=0,385; Adjusted R2=0,312; F(5,4)=5,3; p=0,0008). Conclusion. Organic substances of mineral waters play an essential role in their effects on the parameters of metabolism
