This review focuses on the effects of structured water (SW) on animals when it is consumed on a daily basis. SW is liquid water that is given altered H-bonding structure by treatment with various forms of energy including magnetic fields and light. While most of the research has been conducted on 'magnetized' water, which has structure of short duration, recent research has examined effects of a SW with stability of at least 3.5 mo. A variety of laboratory and farm animals have been studied over the past 20 yr. Consistent (3 or more studies) responses among animals consuming SW for 1 mo or more include increased rate of growth, reduced markers of oxidative stress, improved glycemic and insulinemic responses in diabetics, improved blood lipid profile, improved semen and spermatozoa quality, and increased tissue conductivity as measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis. While it is known that fluids in and around cells and molecules are structured, it remains unknown if this endogenous water structuring is influenced by drinking SWs. The mechanisms by which SW affects biological systems are unknown and require investigation. Effects of SW, when taken up by biological systems, are likely associated with altered water structuring around biological surfaces, such as proteins and membranes.
这篇综述主要关注的是动物每天饮用结构化水（SW）时的影响。SW 是经过各种形式的能量处理（包括磁场和光）后，氢键结构发生改变的液态水。虽然大多数研究都集中在具有短持续时间的“磁化”水，但最近的研究已经检查了具有至少 3.5 个月稳定性的 SW 的影响。在过去的 20 年中，已经对各种实验室和农场动物进行了研究。一致的（3 项或更多研究）结果表明，动物在饮用 SW 1 个月或更长时间后，包括生长速度加快、氧化应激标志物减少、糖尿病患者血糖和胰岛素反应改善、血脂谱改善、精液和精子质量提高以及组织电导率使用生物电阻抗分析测量时增加。虽然人们知道细胞内和细胞外的液体和分子是有结构的，但仍不清楚饮用 SW 是否会影响内源性水的结构。SW 影响生物系统的机制尚不清楚，需要进一步研究。SW 被生物系统吸收后的作用可能与生物表面（如蛋白质和膜）周围的水结构改变有关。
