Abstract:
There are conflicting data in the literature on the impact
of hard drinking water, due to the high content of
magnesium or calcium salts, on various organs and systems. In
connection with the above, the aim of this work was to study
the effects of prolonged consumption of drinking water with
high content of ions Ca2+ or Mg2+ on hydro- and ionuretic
renal functions and biochemical parameters of blood plasma
in Wistar rats. 3 groups of animals were studied: control
animals on standard feed and water consumption (Ca2+ =
20 mg/dm3; Mg2+= 6 mg/dm3); and 2 experimental groups,
consuming for 5 weeks water with an increased concentration
of Ca2+ (120 mg/dm3) or Mg2+ (70 mg/dm3). Renal function
was studied by collecting background urine samples within 4
hours and 3 hours after oral 5% of body weight water load.
At the end of the experiment, blood was collected to assess
the homeostatic parameters of plasma. The concentrations
of electrolytes and osmotically active substances in urine
and plasma were determined using the methods of flame
photometry and cryoscopy. Calculation of water and ionic
renal functions was carried out according to the generally
accepted formulas. Set of indicators characterizing the rat's
response to long-term drinking water intake with a high
content of Ca2+ or Mg2+, leads to the conclusion that after 5
weeks of such water consumption there was an activation of
osmo-regulatory mechanisms in both experimental groups.
The difference between the ion-regulating indicators in
experimental groups compare to control was expressed to a
greater degree following the consumption of drinking water
with a high magnesium content. Water loadings reduced the
stress of osmo- and ion-regulating mechanisms, probably
due to increase of dilution process. These results indicate
the influence of surplus cations intake on osmo- and ionregulating
mechanisms of water-mineral balance.
