    摘要: High blood flow velocity occurs in patients with such cardiovascular diseases as hypertension and arteriosclerosis, which can lead to complications of these diseases. Therefore, it is of medical significance to invent novel approaches to slow down the high blood flow velocity. Oxidative stress can lead to pathological alterations of blood vessels, such as vasoconstriction, which can produce accelerated blood flow. Since our previous cell culture study has shown that Koisio technology-produced water (KW) has antioxidant capacity, in this study we tested our hypothesis that KW may be able to slow down the high blood flow velocity of human subjects. Our study has shown that KW intake significantly decreased the blood flow velocity of both right and left common carotid artery of human subjects. KW intake also significantly decreased the blood flow velocity of both right and left radial artery. Collectively, our study has indicated that KW has the capacity to slow down the blood flow velocity of both common carotid artery and the radial artery. It is warranted to conduct future studies to determine the effects of KW on the cardiovascular system and to investigate the mechanisms underlying the effects.
