We demonstrate a delaying effect of deep-sea drinking water (DDW) containing enhanced magnesium ion (Mg(2 +)) and calcium ion (Ca(2 +)) concentrations on cataract development in Shumiya cataract rats (SCRs). The lenses of SCRs administered DDW-200 (Mg(2 +), 200 mg/L, Ca(2 +); 71 mg/L) were less opaque than those in SCRs administered purified water (PW). In SCRs administered DDW-200, a decrease in Mg(2 +) content and an increase in Ca(2 +) content in the lenses was prevented in comparison with SCRs administered PW. Nitric oxide (NO) levels in the lenses of SCRs administered DDW-200 were lower than those in SCRs administered PW. In conclusion, the administration of DDW-200 to SCRs has a potent delaying effect on cataract development, possibly due to preventing an increase in NO levels in the lens.
我们证明了富含高浓度镁离子(Mg(2+))和钙离子(Ca(2+))的深海饮用水(DDW)对舒米亚白内障大鼠(SCR)白内障发展具有延缓作用。给予DDW - 200(Mg(2+),200 mg/L,Ca(2+);71 mg/L)的SCR晶状体的混浊程度低于给予纯净水(PW)的SCR。与给予PW的SCR相比,给予DDW - 200的SCR晶状体中Mg(2+)含量降低和Ca(2+)含量增加的情况得到了预防。给予DDW - 200的SCR晶状体中的一氧化氮(NO)水平低于给予PW的SCR。总之,给SCR给予DDW - 200对白内障发展具有显著的延缓作用,这可能是由于防止了晶状体中NO水平的升高。
