“…Also, it has been observed antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties on in vitro human leucocytes (Braga et al, 2010). Significant beneficial effects on muscle fatigue have been shown from treatments with compounds that promote glutathione synthesis (Ferreira & Reid, 2008).…”

To investigate the effects of sulphurous mineral water (SMW) after a hydroponic treatment on muscle damage, antioxidant activity and peripheral blood changes induced by submaximal exercise. Thirty well-trained male triathletes were supplemented with SMW or placebo: 3 weeks of placebo, 30 days of wash out and 3 weeks of SMW. After both periods, participants ran for 2 h at 70% maximal aerobic speed. Antioxidant enzymes, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant capacity and blood cell markers were compared between placebo and SMW at pre-exercise (T0), immediately post-exercise (T1), 24 h post-exercise (T2) and 48 h post-exercise (T3). Total thiols decreased until T3 vs. T0 for both placebo and SMW; transient red blood cells, haemoglobin and haematocrit increased were shown at T1 vs. T0 and for leucocytes until T2 vs. T0, only for placebo group. Total thiols increased significantly in SMW vs. placebo at T0; Thiobarbituric acid reactive species was significantly higher at T0, T1, T2 and T3; catalase increased significantly at T1; creatine phosphokinase decreased significantly at T1, T2 and T3, although no significant differences were found at T0. Furthermore, red blood cells, haemoglobin and haematocrit were significantly higher and leucocytes were significantly lower at T0 and T1 in SMW group vs. placebo group. This study suggests that three weeks of SMW supplementation may protect from exercise-induced muscle damage.

“…One of the working hypothesis was that treatment with salt-bromide-iodine water was able to replace or increase GSH, reducing oxidative stress in lung disorders associated with inflammation, depletion of HS groups and production of ROS [14][15][16]. Recent studies have demonstrated evidences on anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effect of thermal water [1,[17][18][19]. Samples of exhaled breath are suitable medium to study biomarkers of pulmonary inflammation and oxidative stress, which may be sensitive endpoints for identifying biochemical changes in the airways after specific treatment [20].…”

“…The positive influence of these cures on the recovery of the patients was attributed to the physicochemical properties of the water. Particulary, some studies show that sulphurous thermal water inhalation has mucolitic, antioxidant, and antielastase activity [1] that may help to control airway inflammation at the upper alveolar or lower bronchial level [2,3]. The possible benefit of thermal sulphurous water inhalation could be attributed to the presence of hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S).…”

Background. Inhalation of thermal water has been used empirically in the treatment of chronic diseases of upper and lower respiratory tract. This study investigates biomarkers of effect in exhaled breath (nitric oxide (NO)) and in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) (hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), anions, toxic heavy metals of tobacco smoke) for patients with lung diseases inhaling salt-bromide-iodine thermal water. Methods. This study enrolled two groups of patients, twenty with alveolar pulmonary diseases-pneumoconiosis-twenty-two with bronchial diseases. Patients received 12 days inhalation treatment with thermal water in Terme of Monticelli (Parma), Italy. Results. No statistically significant differences were found for NO at different flow rates in both groups of patients before and after thermal water inhalation. Also in EBC no statistically significant differences were present for H 2 O 2 concentrations, toxic heavy metals concentrations, and anion concentrations before and after treatment. Nitrates in EBC were found to be significantly higher in patients before inhalation than in controls as well as in patients after inhalation versus controls. Conclusions. This study contributes to better quantify functional and biochemical changes in airways before and after thermal water treatment.

“…In addition to its fundamental role in the defensive system of human airways and antioxidant activity, sulfurous water also has an antielastase activity that may help to control the inflammatory processes of upper and lower airways diseases [20]. Gomes et al [19] reported that chloride helps in the cicatrisation and regeneration of tissue and stimulates blood circulation and metabolic functions.…”

Sensory Evaluation and Oxidative Stability of a Suncream Formulated with Thermal Spring Waters from Ourense (NW Spain) and Sargassum muticum Extracts

Abstract:The purpose of this work was to evaluate four thermal spring waters from Ourense and a Sargassum muticum extract as cosmetic ingredients for the preparation of a suncream. The thermal spring waters were tested for their suitability as an aqueous phase main component, and the algal extract was added as an antioxidant instead of using synthetic preservatives in the cosmetic formula. The emulsion was tested for lipid oxidation during a period of 9 months and for consumer acceptance by performing a sensory test on controls and blanks. Further, color parameters were considered, and a pH determination was performed. The S. muticum extract protected from primary and secondary oxidation as efficiently as Fucus sp. or α-tocopherol extracts. In addition, the sensorial test revealed that consumers preferred suncreams prepared with the S. muticum extract and with thermal spring water from O Tinteiro and A Chavasqueira. The pH of the suncreams varied with the selection of the ingredients, and no oscillations in colorimetric values were visually observed. Our results indicate that the algal extract and the thermal spring waters from Ourense are potential cosmetic ingredients, since they showed effectiveness as antioxidant ingredients, and the suncreams were well accepted by consumers.
