Abstract

 This study assessed the ameliorating effects of the ECO G9 alkaline-electrolyzed water (ECO
G9) in experimental animals with dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia. Anti-hyperlipoproteinemia
by endogenous hyperlipidemia were induced in mice by administration of intraperitoneal (i.p.)
injection of Poloxamer-407 (200 mg/kg). In the exogenous dyslipidemia model, rats were given oral
administration of oil-cholesterol mixture for 4 consecutive weeks. Mice blood samples were collected
to measure the concentrations of TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, non-HDL-C, and AST, ALT. On day 5,
after 1 hour of oral ECO G9, mice were injected intraperitoneally with potassium oxonate at a dose
of 500 mg/kg. After 2 hours of injection, carotid blood samples were taken to quantify serum uric
acid levels. The results showed that ECO G9 at two doses, 160 mL/kg and 240 mL/kg, significantly
reduced level of TG and non-HDL-C but did not change the level of HDL-C. In the exogenous
dyslipidemia model, ECO G9 at 80 mL/kg showed potential to control dyslipidemia by significantly
decreasing TG level (p < 0.05), and ECO G9 at 120 mL/kg did not change the level of HDL-C.
Both does levels did not have any significantly effect on blood lipid parameters and liver enzyme
levels. Additionally, ECO G9 at both 160 mL/kg/day and 240mL/kg/day reduced blood uric acid.
