Abstract

The general aspect of modifications induced by the administration of deuterium depleted water (light water) was the stimulation of cellular reactivity, reduction of harmful effects of different noxious agents, noticing also an inhibitor effect on several types of cancer. Referring at the prolongated administration of deuterium’s depleting medium it was pursued, in the present research, the mode and the grade in which deuterium is exchanged with hidrogen in the organism of mammals. The results shows that in natural conditions, the organism has the tendency to accumulate deuterium (bioaccumulation process). On the other hand, the grade of deuterium depletion seems to be under influence both of specimen genotype and behavior, and also of deuterium’s depleting medium concentration (whose effect is cumulated in time)..
