1. Introduction
Water is Paramagnetic meaning that it holds a magnetic
charge. Para-magnetism occurs primarily in substances in
which some or all of the individual atoms, ions, or molecules
possess a permanent magnetic dipole moment. Water has a
dipole moment and is, therefore, subject to paramagnetism [1,
2]. Magnetic water means passing water from magnetic tubes,
by putting a magnet in water so properties of water turn into
very fertile and active, causing high oxygen ratio, velocity of
dissolved salts and amino acids in water. Natural water after
sterilization is called dead water, so magnetic water transfer
water from dead to live [3, 4]. There was an improvement in
water quality when exposed to the magnetic field with
considerable change in the pH, total dissolved solids, total
Biomedical Sciences 2017; 3(4): 78-85 79
hardness, conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen,
evaporating temperature, minerals, organic matter and total
count of bacteria. The increase of salinity of water due to the
magnetic exposure could be attributed to increasing soluble
salts which concurred with the conductivity, while increasing
dissolved oxygen could be due to the decrease in organic
matter n magnetic water [5]. Physics shows that water changes
weight under the influence of magnetic fields. More hydroxyl
(OH-) ions are created to form alkaline molecules, and reduce
acidity. Increasing both the electric conductivity and the
dielectric constant of water was documented [2, 5, 6]. Normal
water has a pH level of about 7, whereas magnetized water can
reach pH of 9.2 following the exposure to 7000 gauss strength
magnet for a long period of time [2, 7].
Exposing of water to strong magnetic fields affected the
mineral content of water and its effects depended on the
strength of the magnetic field and exposure time. Nowadays,
the use of magnets to improve water quality is of significant
interest due to low cost compared to chemical and physical
treatments [5]. Water solution passes through magnetic field
acquire finer and more homogeneous structures, which
increases the fluidity, dissolving capability for various
constituents like minerals and vitamins and consequently
improves the biological activity of solutions, affecting
positively the performance of animals [2, 8]. Using
magnetically treated water offered improvements in industry
and agriculture such as scale reduction and increased crop
yields [9, 10]. Researchers found when a permanent magnet is
kept in contact with water for a considerable period of time;
water gets magnetically charged and acquires magnetic
properties. Such magnetically treated water has its effect even
on the human body when taken internally and regularly for a
considerable period of time [2, 7]. Surface tension in
magnetized water is reduced by 10-12% whilst its velocity is
increased in compare with regular water. Therefore it’s
penetration into cell wall would be facilitated which can
accelerate ordinary diffusion of water that is vital for growth
of different organs [11, 12].
Magnetized water was first used in Russia by three
specialists: Drs. G. Gerbenshchikow, I. Shetsov and K.
Tovstoles, all three specialists in urology at the Kirov Military
Medical Academy in Leningrad. They had their patients drink
bi-polar magnetized water. This simple treatment was very
effective in breaking up kidney and gall bladder stones into
small enough particles to be passed through urine without any
pain or danger to the patient. The water also prevented further
formation of stones in the kidneys and gallbladder. Soviet
physicians have been giving internally magnetized water to
patients for over 30 years for digestive, urinary and nervous
problems, ailments like mastitis, pains and swellings, painful
urination and many other disorders [13, 14]. There was a
report of people resolving bladder problems, recovering
quickly from a stroke, alleviating arthritis pain and reducing
blood pressure by drinking magnetized water [15]. Magnetic
water may prevent aging and fatigue by increasing the cell
membrane permeability [16]. Effectiveness of magnetized
water in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis has
been shown in some animal and human studies [16-19]. It has
been reported that magnetic water help unclog the arteries and
veins of deposits of cholesterol and salts and normalize the
circulatory system. Magnetized water has been found
effective in alleviating colds, coughs, bronchitis, all types of
fever and more, and it helpful in the regularization of women's
menses [14, 20]. Also, magnetized water can be helpful in
weight control, as an adjutant to a correct diet because this
water improves metabolic activity, it may be helpful in
burning up excessive fatty tissue [14, 21].
Yacout et al., [5] concluded that magnetic water treatment
for Zaraibi goats resulted in improved water quality which
consequently improves nutrient digestibility, saves water
consumption, optimizing rumen fermentation parameters, and
it could an effective way to reduce methane production and
contributing to mitigate environmental impact in livestock,
positive animal health, which is reflected in the increase in
milk yield and its component and improves blood picture and
antioxidant status. Magnetic drinking water caused increase
milk production, mutton, and wool in sheep not only that, but
more weight gain in geese and egg production and hatchability
in turkey can be achieved, and increasing in milk yields in
dairy cows and ewes [5, 22, 23]. Al-Fadul, [24] concluded that
the magnetization of water improves the water properties,
which consequently improves the growth performance, feed
efficiency and saves water consumption for broilers. Attia et
al., [25] concluded that magnetic treatment improved water
quality, semen quality, blood picture and antioxidant status
and hence buck fertility. It has been demonstrated that intake
of magnetized water result in reduced DNA damage [12, 26].
In zaraibi goats, magnetic treatment could improve water
quality and consumption, feeding value, ruminal fermentation,
blood picture, antioxidant status and hence milk and labneh
yields especially with 3600 gauss [5]. Cows drinking
magnetized water produced more milk and were healthier than
cows drinking untreated water. Sheep produced more wool
and meat, hens laid more eggs and all farm animals survived
longer when drinking magnetized water [27]. Most of the
previous literatures studied the effects of magnetic water on
organs of a certain animal, but few of them, which studied the
beneficial effects of magnetic water on different organs in
animals, and human. Also, to our knowledge, the evidence
reporting the effect of magnetic water on human and animals
is hardly found. So, the present review aimed to investigate the
beneficial effects of magnetized water for human and animals.
2. Effect of Magnetic Water on Feed
Intake, Water Consumption and Body
Weight
Attia et al., [25] reported that rabbit bucks drank
magnetized water showed a significant increase in body
weight, feed intake. Also, Yacout et al., [5] recorded that
zaraibi goats consumed magnetic water (field of 1200 and
3600 gauss) showed a significant increase feed intake and
water consumption. On the other hand, Feed consumption
80 Shaban Ali Ebrahim and Azab Elsayed Azab: Biological Effects of Magnetic Water on Human and Animals
showed no significant changes, while metabolic factor
increased and body weight decreased only among
magnetically treated water group animals, the highest
improvement was recorded in water consumption in
magnetically treated water groups. Magnetically treated water
makes animals thirsty could be used as a strategy to enhance
body hygiene and immune system [28].
3. Effect of Magnetic Water on Milk Yield
and Composition
The daily milk yield of Zaraibi goats, dairy cattle, ewes, and
Awassi sheep consumed magnetic water was significantly
higher than control groups [5, 23, 29, 30]. This increase in
milk production may be attributed to the outcome of the
positive impact of magnetic water on digestion, absorption,
growth of cells and their functions, circulatory system and
udder [5, 31, 32], increasing in the secretion of the prolactin
hormone through the effect of the endorphins hormone, which
increases the stimulation and thus lead to an increase in milk
production [5, 33].
Improvement in milk yield was associated with an increase
in fat and protein production in animals consumed magnetic
water [5, 23, 29, 30, 34]. It may be due to the amount of milk
protein is directly proportional to the amount of milk produced,
or to an improvement in increasing the digestion of crude
protein, where drinking magnetic water works to an increase
in small intestines movement and increase the processes of
digestion and absorption [5, 35], or to a decrease in the
melatonin hormone, which leads to an increase in the (IGF-1)
Insulin-like growth factor-1 or may lead to an increase in the
secretion of prolactin hormone and this increase are important
in the secretion of milk [5, 36, 37].
4. Effect of Magnetic Water on
Haematological Parameters
Animals received magnetic water showed a significant
increases in red blood cells count, and hemoglobin
concentration [5]. Also, Al-Nuemi et al., [4] recorded that
holstein bulls treated with magnetic water showed a
significant increases in red blood cells count, packed cell
volume and hemoglobin concentration of treated bulls for age
17-18 and 29-32 month compared with control. Increasing the
RBC’s count has attributed to increase the intensity of water
processor magnetically to that the magnetic field works on
iron attract in the blood and then connect the blood in larger
quantities to the area causing an increase the number of RBC’s
and hemoglobin concentration and therefore carried oxygen
more to cells [4,5, 38]. A significant increase in RBC could be
attributed to magnetic water causing increased production and
transferred large amount of RBC and to elaborate blood vessel
and increase in movement of RBC to changes of nutrition and
transferred of oxygen to cells [4, 23, 39, 40]. The
improvement in metabolic profiles could be attributed to
enhancing metabolic cycles, minerals solubility such as Fe
and/or Cu as evidenced by increasing RBCs and Hb and
nutrients transfer to various body cells, movement of blood
within the arteries facilitating the transport of oxygen bearing
blood and nutrients to different body cells [5, 41].
Raafat, and Nabil, [14] concluded that magnetic treated
water enhanced the normal hemoglobin derivatives and
decrease the non-function hemoglobin form so it improve the
overall hemoglobin health. Hemoglobin molecule is formed
from four globin parts surround a heme atom in the center of
this structure. The magnetic properties of the hemoglobin that
controls the binding process of hemoglobin with oxygen and
carbon dioxide many depends on this magnetic field generated
around the heme atom. By generating many of free radicals
the unpaired electron molecules reach to the heme atom
revealing oxidation process in which heme is highered from
ferrohemoglobin to ferric hemoglobin. In ferric hemoglobin
heme atom is in the higher electronic state which make the
affinity of oxygen very low. Treatment with magnetic treated
water improved the surrounding magnetic field of the water
molecule and enhanced the overall reaction carried out
depending on this property. Enhancement of the normal
oxyhemoglobin in which heme atom is in the ferro state is an
indication of the hemoglobin health [14]. Treatment of buck
and ram with magnetic water caused a significant increase in
PCV and Hb [23, 42, 43]. Magnetic water were induced a
significant increase in Hb in lambs, ewes and in fish [44-46].
Treatment with magnetic water caused a high potential in the
processing of the body’s cells and tissues of different nutrition
appropriate to perform its best of its biological, leading to the
lifting capacity of organs and tissues hematopoietic like liver,
kidney and spleen, to produce blood [4, 33, 47]. Also due to
increase in metabolic reactions in the tissues, raising hormone
which works to increase the production of RBC and thus
increases PCV [4, 48, 49]. The increment of PCV and Hb may
be attributed to increase in production of these cells from bone
marrow, circulatory system under the effect of hormonal
factors [4, 50] or improves the immune system of animals [4,
51] or decreases viscosity of blood and increase movement of
blood in vessels which caused high movement of Hb [4, 52].
Animals received magnetic water showed a significant
increase in white blood cells count [4, 5]. The increase in the
whit blood cells count may be due to increase the severity of
the water processor magnetically to increase the emergence of
these cells configured sites in the bone marrow into the
circulatory system by the impact of some hormonal factors [5,
50], increase in body immunity through the increased
proportion of lymph cells which may be due that magnetic
water increases the content of immune globulin in the blood
and increase the number of defensive white blood cells [5, 53].
5. Effect of Magnetic Water on
Biochemical Parameters
Yacout et al., [5] reported that Zaraibi goats drank magnetic
water showed a significant increase in glucose level compared
with drank unmagnetic water. On the other hand, the study of
Biomedical Sciences 2017; 3(4): 78-85 81
Alhammer et al., [28] showed that magnetically treated water
significantly decreased the glucose level. This may be
attributed to magnetically treated water has increased the
water conductivity, this may increase the blood circulation and
by which increases the glucose uptake by the cells [28, 54,
55].
Rabbits treated daily for 60 days with magnetic water
showed a significant increase in serum concentration of high
density lipoprotein– cholesterol, and a significant decrease in
serums total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, low density
lipoprotein - cholesterol, and very low density lipoprotein
cholesterol concentrations [2]. Also, Zaraibi goats drank
magnetic water showed a significant decreased in cholesterol
concentration as compared with control group [5]. This may
be due to interaction with moving charges and enzymes
activities rates in cell-free systems increasing transcript levels
for specific genes, or interacts directly with electrons in DNA
to affect protein biosynthesis [5, 49]. Exposure to a low
magnetic field decreased plasma peroxide level in stressed rats
[56]. It is possible that EMF can ameliorate the deleterious
effects of Free radicals by decreasing the chemical reactions
that caused damage to DNA, proteins and lipids [2]. The
antioxidant activity of magnetic water was claimed to be
responsible for its hypolipidemic effect [2].
Drinking magnetic water had beneficial effect on some
physiological aspects manifested by a significant elevation in
total serum proteins of male rabbits, and bucks [2, 42]. The
effect of magnetic water on total protein of blood may be
differed from species to another and increase significantly in
some components of blood without increase in others such as
total protein [4]. Rabbits treated daily for 60 days with
magnetic water showed a significant increase in serum total
protein concentration [2]. Also, Zaraibi goats drank magnetic
water showed a significant increase in total protein, albumin
and globulin compared with drank unmagnetic water [5].
Elevation of blood total protiens by magnetic water treatment
may play positive role in an increase in growth and the
consumption of protein to build somatic cells [5, 57], and
indicated maintenance of cellular functions, the change in
protein metabolism and EMF also interacts directly with
electrons in DNA to affect protein biosynthesis [2, 49, 58].
Goats received magnetic water showed a significant
decreased ALT and AST (improvement of liver functions)
when compared to those of goats that drank unmagnetic water
[5]. On the other hand, no significant changes in both aspartate
aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase activities, and
highly significant increased in adenosine deaminase activity
were recorded in the magnetically treated water groups
comparing to control group [28]. Since adenosine deaminase
activity represents an immunological parameter, consumption
of MTW may improve the immunological status. Magnetic
treatment has claimed to help body against microbial invaders
and improve immune system [28, 59].
Goats received magnetic water showed a significant
decreased in urea (improvement of kidney functions) when
compared to those of goats that drank unmagnetic water [5].
6. Magnetized Water and Oxidative
Stress
Antioxidants are reducing agents, and limit oxidative
damage to biological structures by passive free radicals [5, 60].
Antioxidant enzymes mainly SOD and CAT is the first line
defensive against free radicals which cause oxidative damage
in animal tissues. Catalase (CAT) is one of the most important
intracellular enzymes in the detoxification of the oxidant
hydrogen peroxide. Meantime, the activity of AT and SOD
enzymes is inhibited with high level of toxic metabolites [5,
61]. Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) is the most powerful
antioxidant enzyme protects cellular proteins against reactive
oxygen species (ROS) in the body [5, 62].
Several studies reported that magnetized water could
influence effectively on the oxidant-antioxidant balance, for
instance, it could decrease the amounts of malondialdehyde,
increase the superoxide dismutase activity in the heart, kidney
and liver and also decrease the amounts of nitric oxide which
all result in decreasing oxidative stress [12, 26, 63-65]. Goats
received Magnetic water showed a higher glutathione
peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT) and superoxide
dismutase (SOD) compared to those of goats that drank
unmagnetic water [5]. Rabbits treated daily for 60 days with
magnetic water showed a significant increase in serum
glutathione concentration [2].
7. Effect of Magnetic Water on
Histological Structure of Heart, Lung
and Spleen
Amer et al., [66] reported that albino rats were given
magnetized water with intensity of 250, 750, 1000, 1500 gause
every day for 30 days. Then the animals were sacrificed and
the histological change on heart, lung and spleen was studied.
Histopathology of heart in rats treated with magnetic water
with intensity of 250, 750, 1000, 1500 gause showed no clear
pathological lesion. Lung section of rats treated with 250
gause of magnetic water showed no pathological lesion, while
lung section belongs to rats group given magnetic water with
intensity of 750, 1000 gause showed hyperplasia of lymphoid
tissue in the wall of bronchiole and thickening to the wall
alveoli, in addition the lung section belongs to magnetic water
with intensity of 1500 agues treated rats showed thickening in
alveolar wall. Spleen tissue belongs to magnetic water with
intensity of 250 gause treated rats showed hyperplasia of the
white pulp, while spleen tissue belongs to magnetic water with
intensity of 750 gause treated rats showed a marked
hyperplasia of the lymphoid tissue in the periarterial sheath.
Hyperplasia is an increase the number of cells mainly
lymphocyte. This increase mainly stimulated by high
intensities of magnetic water this result suggest that the
interference by magnetic field with regulation of cellular Ca
++
signals, the most important evidence in favor of this
hypothesis includes correlation between the magnetic field
induced Ca
++
changes and the cellular activation status and
82 Shaban Ali Ebrahim and Azab Elsayed Azab: Biological Effects of Magnetic Water on Human and Animals
extent to which lymphocyte DNA synthesis is modified by
magnetic field [66, 67]. Also, spleen tissue belongs to
magnetic water with intensity of 1000 gause treated rats
showed amyloid like substance deposition around the white
pulp. Necrotic area of lymphoid tissue was observed in the
spleen tissue belongs to rat groups given magnetic water with
intensity of 1500 gause [66].
8. Effect of Magnetic Water on
Reproductive System
Magnetic water can increase ability of body for production
general and sexual hormones, transport of food in blood, and
improved semen characteristics, fertility rate [4, 44, 68-70].
Attia et al., [25] reported that rabbit bucks drank magnetized
water showed a significant increase in fertility, sperm
concentration, mass motility and total live sperm. The
improvements in fertility and semen quality concurred with
significant increases in testosterone hormone,
immunoglobulin A, antioxidant enzymes, and with decreases
in lipid peroxidation biomarker malondialdehyde and
thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances [25]. The increase in
testosterone due to magnetized water may have led to
increased sexual desire as demonstrated by the decrease in
the reaction time and the increase in fertility and semen
quality [71]. Al-Nuemi et al., [4] reported that holstein bulls
treated with magnetic water showed a significant rise in testis
dimensions and scrotal circumferences as compared with
control bulls for age at 17-18 month. Also, a significant
increase in testis dimension was recorded in magnetic water
treated buck, and lambs [42, 72]. This benefit of magnetic
water on testis dimension and scrotal circumferences may be
this magnetic water enhance the digestion absorption of
growth functions cell and circulating system [4, 31, 32], and
increase the feed conversion efficiency by reducing the surface
tension and increase the permeability of the cells, and this
allows the expansion of the gut to take advantage of food and
therefore, an improvement in the dimensions of the body [4].
Hafizi et al., [12] investigated that the effects of magnetized
water on height of epithelial cells in pre-implantation stage
endometrium and fallopian tube and number of corpus lutea in
female mice. Data analysis showed a significant increase in
the mean number of corpus lutea and the height of epithelial
cells in fallopian tube comparing the case with the control
group whereas uterus epithelial cells of the case group showed
insignificant increase in height, in compare with the control
group. The potential hypotheses could be regarding to the
effects of magnetized water on oxidative stress and cell
growth which result in bio-activation improvement in
epithelial cells. Magnetized water is probably effective in cell
growth by increasing oxygen concentration, mineral solubility
and accelerating transfer of water and nutrients in all
compartments of body via improvement of permeability of
cell wall as a consequence of decreased surface tension and
electric conductivity [11, 12, 73]. The effect of magnetic field
on intracellular fluid and substances results in enzyme
activation and increased biochemical reactions in the cell, the
reduction of suspended solids and pathogenic bacteria is
another assumable factor that can explain this result [12].
Regarding the role of fallopian tube epithelium in secreting
colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF1), epidermal growth factor
and interleukin 2, the effect of magnetized water on epithelial
cells of the fallopian tube could be in favor of fertility. The
uterine epithelial cells and corpus luteum play an essential role
in the implantation phase. Increased number of corpus lutea in
association with increased height of uterus epithelial cells may
support the establishment of pregnancy [12].
9. Effect of Magnetic Water on the Bones
Neto et al., [74] reported that the consumption of water
treated by magnetic field for 45 d provided an effective way to
improve the bone mineral density, bone mineral content, and
bone resistance in Wistar rats.
10. Conclusion
It can be concluded that magnetic water treatment improved
blood picture, biochemical parameters, semen quality, and
antioxidant status in human and animals. Magnetic water very
effective in breaking up kidney and gall bladder stones, and
prevent further formation of stones in the kidneys and
gallbladder. It alleviates arthritis pain and reducing blood
pressure, prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, help
unclog the arteries and veins of deposits of cholesterol and
salts and normalize the circulatory system, helpful in weight
control. Also, it mitigate environmental impact in livestock,
increase in milk yields and its component in dairy cows and
ewes, mutton, and wool in sheep and improves blood picture
and antioxidant status, more weight gain in geese and egg
production and hatchability in turkey. So, magnetic water
must be used to mitigate the harmful effects of drugs, toxins,
and environmental pollutant on human and animals.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of a magnetic field on the physicochemical properties of water and evaluate the effects of the magnetized water (MW) on the productive performance, liver enzymes, and histological structure of the spleen and kidney of rabbits. Water samples were collected to determine pH and electrical conductivity (EC), and water structure was investigated by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Twenty-four weaned Rex rabbits, 21 days old, were allotted into two experimental groups: the first group was assigned as control, received regular tap water (TW), and the treated group, received MW, for 5 weeks. Productive traits were recorded weekly and at the end of the experiment, blood, spleen, and kidney samples were collected for examinations. Results showed that the pH and EC of MW were higher than those of TW. In addition, the arrangement MW cluster showed a unique alteration on the nano-scale. Growth performance indicators were similar in both experimental treatments, except the FCR of the MW rabbits was better than that of the TW rabbits. The MW had no significant effect on plasma concentration of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and creatinine in growing Rex rabbits received MW in comparison with those that received regular TW. The spleen histological structure of rabbits of both groups was normal. However, the epithelial cells lining renal tubules of the kidneys of rabbits in the MW group appeared large with basophilic nuclei in comparison with the TW group. Conclusively, the magnetic field altered the physicochemical properties of water. The MW may consequently increase blood glucose level and spleen weight %, enhance kidney structure, and improve FCR in growing rabbits. Moreover, more studies are still needed to know the benefits of providing magnetized water to animals.

... To provide safe water for poultry, water purification methods had to be developed. The use of chemicals in water purification can negatively impact the health and productivity of the birds, leading to a shift towards more advanced methods of water purification that avoid such negative effects and instead have positive effects on public health and the productivity of animals (Ebrahim & Azab, 2017). Magnetically treated water is a scientifically based technique that has begun to invade many countries of the world and is considered by some as a "magic recipe" due to its benefits by raising the capabilities of the immune system and accelerating the growth of poultry. ...

The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of water magnetization technology from various locations in Basrah province on the productive and physiological performance of local ducks. A total of 105 one-day-old, unsexed local ducks were randomly distributed into seven treatments with three replicates per each (5 birds per replicate). The control treatment used reverse osmosis (RO) water. The treatments were: T1: tap water from Zubair city; T2: magnetized tap water from Zubair city; T3: tap water from Ashar City; T4: magnetized tap water from Ashar City; T5: tap water from Qurna city; T6: magnetized tap water from Qurna city. The results showed a significant improvement in overall body weight, weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio in both the second and control treatments. The second treatment also recorded the highest overall drinking water consumption. Additionally, higher values of red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin concentration (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV) were observed. The control treatment recorded a lower value of heterophils/ lymphocyte ratio (H/L) compared to other treatments. Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were unaffected by variations in water treatments. The use of magnetic water treatment led to a decrease in the concentration of cholesterol, urea, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) enzymes in the blood serum. Conversely, the use of magnetic water led to a significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase in the glucose, total protein, albumin, and globulin concentrations. In conclusion, the utilization of magnetic treatment in drinking water improved the productive and physiological performance of domestic ducks.

This study aimed to examine whether or not aluminum chloride (AlCl3)-induced hepatotoxicity might be mitigated using magnetic water (MW) in rats. This study involved 28 adult male rats randomly assigned into the following 4 groups (7 rats/group): normal control (Cnt), MW, AlCl3, and Al Cl3 + MW. The Cnt group orally received normal saline, the MW group drank MW ad libitum for 2 months, and the AlCl3 and AlCl3 + MW groups were orally administered AlCl3 (40 mg/kg b.w.) alone or in combination with MW for 2 months, respectively. MW reduced AlCl3 toxicity as proved at functional, molecular, and structural levels. Functionally, MW reduced serum levels of liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT), while increased total proteins, and albumin. MW also restored redox balance in the liver (lower MDA levels, higher activities of CAT and SOD enzymes, and upregulated expression of NrF2, HO-1, and GST genes. Molecularly, MW downregulated hepatic expression of the epigenetic (HDAC3), inflammatory (IL1β, TNFα, NFκβ), and endoplasmic reticulum stress (XBP1, BIP, CHOP) genes. Structurally, MW enhanced liver histology. With these results, we could conclude that MW has the potential to ameliorate the hepatotoxic effects of AlCl3 through targeting oxidative stress, inflammation, epigenesis, and endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Objectives. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of magnetic water (MW) as a mouthwash on the force decay of the orthodontic elastomeric ligature ties. Methods. One hundred twenty elastomeric ties divided into 3 groups (40 ties each) based on mouthwash used: group1: washed with artificial saliva (AS)(control), group 2: washed with Ortho Kin mouthwash (OK), Group 3 washed with prepared magnetic water (MW). Each group was further subdivided into 4 subgroups, 10 ties for each time interval (initially, one day, one week and two weeks). Distilled water had been magnetized using a locally prepared device. 2430 Gauss (Gs) neodymium magnets was used. The force decay for the ties were measured by Instron universal testing machine. The outcomes were detailed as mean force decay changes and was compared with Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests, P ≤0.05. Results. The highest force decay value was for MW group at two weeks. For OK group, there was significant difference of force decay in comparison between the initial - one day, and one day - one week. For the MW group, there was significant differences between the initial - two weeks. For MW-OK comparison, significant differences were found at one week. Conclusion. MW caused more force decay in the elastomeric ligature ties than OK mouthwashes especially at two weeks period.
... Where heat is transmitted more quickly along the body compared to traditional convection, magnetized water is used in the manufacture of food packaging and prevents contamination in it, magnetized water increases the shelf life of food. Moreover, contributes to increasing resources as it increases animal and plant growth, achieves a real safety fence for equipment, lines Production in food processing, and others against salts, corrosion factors, and rapid deterioration [23]. And its applications in steam production units, cooling, and heating, and the mechanics of this process is that when the water passes through an alternating magnetic field, it makes most of the materials suspended in the water, such as calcium, magnesium, and others, and prevents them from being deposited on the walls of the pipes, and the magnetic energy works to prevent oxygen from attacking the metal and preventing corrosion. ...
... With respect to pH, total dissolved solids, conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, minerals, organic matter, and total bacteria count, water quality dramatically improved when subjected to a magnetic field. Accordingly, its ability to penetrate cell walls would be enhanced, hastening the regular water diffusion required for the development of numerous organs (Ebrahim & Azab, 2017). According to numerous researchers such as Khater and Ibraheim (2015) and Samiee and Samiee (2017), magnetic water may delay the onset of ageing and weariness by increasing the permeability of cell membranes. ...

Applying magnetized water to marine aquaculture is still a new application, and studies are very scarce. Accordingly, our study was conducted on gilthead seabream, Sparusaurata, and juveniles to assess the impact of continuous exposure to magnetized treated water at various Tesla levels on water properties, as well as any subsequent consequences on juveniles' development, performance, and survival rate. A 60-day growth trial was carried out using magnetized treated water during the juvenile rearing period (from 60 to 120 days) with magnetized intensities corresponding to 0, 10, 40 and 60MT in the control, F1, F2 and F3 treated groups, respectively. Each replicate treatment included 200 seabream juveniles. Determination of environmental factors, including water temperature, pH, salinity, and dissolved oxygen was carried out. The magnetization system was running around the clock. The findings showed that for 60 days, varying magnetic intensities had an impact on the survival rate of sea bream juveniles reared in magnetic water. At the end of the experiment, histopathological alterations were assessed between specimens of selected organs (intestine, liver, and kidney) collected from different fish juveniles treated groups. In this study, the magnetized water decreased bacterial load compared with the normal water (control) considering the antimicrobial efficacy of magnetized water. Overall, it was concluded that exposure of sea bream juveniles to magnetized water of intensity corresponding to 40MT represented the highest survival rate (51.67%), improved its growth performance and water properties, reduced microbial infected communities, as well as restored the normal architecture of intestinal and renal tissues in a recirculating healthy aquaculture system.
... Research on the effects of magnetic fields on water properties reveals that bulk water becomes more structured depending on the strength and duration of the magnetic fields [119][120][121][122][123][124]. The health benefits of drinking magnetized water have been widely researched [125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133]. The evidence is compelling that magnetized drinking water improves animal health, but the same literature offers few links between magnetized water and SW water properties. ...

A review was conducted between redox biology and BSW water to link their interactions with cell bioenergetics. The exchange of electrons and protons from energized BSW water significantly contributes to recycling energy biomolecules during aerobic respiration. Plant resilience to biotic and abiotic stressors is also significantly improved by maintaining adequate levels of BSW water. The physicochemical properties of SW water are readily measured and are associated with improved human health. Natural healing water and SW water products have similar physicochemical properties. Medical literature shows a direct association between dehydration and age-related diseases. Drinking SW water enhances rehydration rates and increases intracellular water content. Research has also suggested that drinking SW water has a positive effect on certain neurological diseases and cancer types. Finally, drinking SW water improves the immunity system in humans.

Good water quality and cleanliness increase water intake. This could lead to improved performance and reduce health problems of the flock in livestock. It does not require extra energy consumption and easy installation when a permanent magnet is used. Exposure of the water to a magnetic field changes the water's properties including raising pH, and dissolved oxygen, and the number of water molecules decreases to a smaller cluster leading to better absorption of water into the animal cell membranes. There are many results in poultry field that magnetized drinking water increases water consumption and feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and meat quality of broilers, also it enhances egg production traits for laying hens. In addition, it improves hatchability, bioavailability, immunity and decreases mortality. This review aims to explain the existing literature on the influence the application of magnetic drinking water on the performance and health parameters of poultry.

The effects of magnetically treated water (MTW) versus tab water on some biological parameters including Aspartate transferase (AST), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Adenosine deaminase activity (ADA) and glucose level and several physiological activities including feed and water consumption, body weight and metabolic factor. Thirty albino mice from both sexes were divided into three groups,T1 group, supplied with 1000 gauss (MTW),T2 group, supplied with 2000 gauss MTW and the control group (C), provided with tab water. Results showed that MTW significantly decreased the glucose level (P<0.01). No significant changes in both AST and ALP activity was recorded in the treated groups comparing to control group (P>0.05) among all groups. ADA activity was increased highly significant (p<0.01) in T1 group when compared to control group. Feed consumption showed no significant changes (p>0.05), while metabolic factor increased and body weight decreased only among T2 group animals (p<0.05), the highest improvement was recorded in water consumption in both T1 and T2 groups (p<0.001 and p<0.01) respectively. It is concluded that 1000 gauss MTW is more beneficial and has less harm effect on living body than 2000 gauss MTW. ‫اﻟﺒﯿﺾ‬ ‫اﻟﻔﺌﺮان‬ ‫ﻓﻲ‬ ‫اﻟﻔﯿﺰﯾﺎﺋﯿﺔ‬ ‫و‬ ‫اﻟﻜﯿﻤﻮﺣﯿﻮﯾﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﺨﻮاص‬ ‫ﺑﻌﺾ‬ ‫ﻋﻠﻰ‬ ‫اﻟﻤﻤﻐﻨﻄﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﻤﯿﺎه‬ ‫ﺗﺄﺛﯿﺮ‬ ‫اﻟﺨﻼﺻﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﻌﺎدي‬ ‫اﻟﺤﻨﻔﯿﺔ‬ ‫ﻣﺎء‬ ‫ﻣﻊ‬ ‫ﺑﺎﻟﻤﻘﺎرﻧﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﻤﻤﻐﻨﻄﺔ‬ ‫ﺗﺄﺛﯿﺮاﻟﻤﯿﺎه‬ ‫دراﺳﺔ‬ ‫ﺗﻢ‬ ‫اﻟﺒﺤﺚ‬ ‫ھﺬا‬ ‫ﻓﻲ‬ ، ‫اﻧﺰﯾﻤﻲ‬ ‫ﻣﺜﻞ‬ ‫اﻟﺒﯿﻮﻟﻮﺟﯿﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﻌﻮاﻣﻞ‬ ‫ﺑﻌﺾ‬ ‫ﻋﻠﻰ‬ AST ‫و‬ ALP ، ‫اﻧﺰﯾﻢ‬ ‫ﻓﻌﺎﻟﯿﺔ‬ ‫و‬ ADA ‫ﺑﺎﻟﺪم‬ ‫اﻟﻜﻠﻮﻛﻮز‬ ‫ﻣﺴﺘﻮى‬ ‫و‬ ‫ﻣﻘﺪار‬ ‫ﻣﺜﻞ‬ ‫اﻻﺧﺮى‬ ‫اﻟﻔﺴﻠﺠﯿﺔ‬ ‫اﻻﻧﺸﻄﺔ‬ ‫و‬ ‫اﻟﻔﻌﺎﻟﯿﺎت‬ ‫ﺑﻌﺾ‬ ‫و‬ ‫اﻟﻐﺬاء‬ ‫و‬ ‫اﻟﻤﺎء‬ ‫اﺳﺘﮭﻼك‬ ، ‫اﻻﯾﻀﻲ‬ ‫اﻟﻌﺎﻣﻞ‬ ‫و‬ ‫اﻟﺠﺴﻢ‬ ‫وزن‬. ‫ﻧﻮع‬ ‫ﻣﻦ‬ ‫ﻣﺨﺘﺒﺮﯾﺎ‬ ‫ﻓﺄرا‬ ‫ﺛﻼﺛﯿﻦ‬ ‫اﻟﺘﺠﺮﺑﺔ‬ ‫ھﺬه‬ ‫ﻓﻲ‬ ‫اﺳﺘﺨﺪم‬ Albino ‫ﺿﺮب‬ balb c ‫اﻟﺠﻨﺴﯿﻦ‬ ‫ﻛﻼ‬ ‫ﻣﻦ‬ ، ‫ھﻲ‬ ‫و‬ ‫ﻣﺠﺎﻣﯿﻊ‬ ‫ﺛﻼﺛﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﻰ‬ ‫ﻗﺴﻤﺖ‬ ‫و‬ : ‫ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ‬ T1 ‫ﺑﺸﺪة‬ ‫اﻟﻤﻤﻐﻨﻂ‬ ‫ﺑﺎﻟﻤﺎء‬ ‫ﺟﮭﺰت‬ ‫و‬ ١٠٠٠ ‫و‬ ‫ﻛﺎوس‬ ‫ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ‬ T2 ‫ﺷﺪﺗﮫ‬ ‫ﻣﻤﻐﻨﻂ‬ ‫ﺑﻤﺎء‬ ‫ﺟﮭﺰت‬ ٢٠٠٠ ‫اﻟﻌﺎدي‬ ‫اﻟﺤﻨﻔﯿﺔ‬ ‫ﺑﻤﺎء‬ ‫ﺟﮭﺰت‬ ‫اﻟﺴﯿﻄﺮة‬ ‫ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ‬ ‫و‬ ‫ﻛﺎوس‬. ‫ﺑﻌﺪ‬ ‫اﻟﻨﺘﺎﺋﺞ‬ ‫أﻇﮭﺮت‬ ‫ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺘﻲ‬ ‫ﻓﻲ‬ ‫أﻧﺨﻔﺾ‬ ‫ﻗﺪ‬ ‫اﻟﻜﻠﻮﻛﻮز‬ ‫ﻣﺴﺘﻮى‬ ‫ﺑﺄن‬ ‫اﻟﻤﺨﺘﻠﻔﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﻤﻌﺎﻣﻼت‬ T1 ‫و‬ T2 ‫ﻣﻌﻨﻮﯾﺎ‬) p<0.01 (، ‫ﻓﻲ‬ ‫ﻣﻌﻨﻮي‬ ‫ﺗﻐﯿﺮ‬ ‫أي‬ ‫ﯾﻠﺤﻆ‬ ‫ﻟﻢ‬ ‫ﻣﻦ‬ ‫ﻛﻼ‬ AST ‫و‬ ALP ‫ﻟﻤﺠﻤﻮﻋﺘﻲ‬ T1 ‫و‬ T2 ‫ﻋﻨ‬ ‫اﻟﺴﯿﻄﺮة‬ ‫ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ‬ ‫ﻣﻊ‬ ‫ﻣﻘﺎرﻧﺘﮭﺎ‬ ‫ﺪ‬) p>0.05 (، ‫ﻓﻌﺎﻟﯿﺔ‬ ADA ‫ارﺗﻔﺎﻋﺎ‬ ‫ﺷﮭﺪت‬ ‫ﻣﻌﻨﻮﯾﺎ‬) p<0.01 (‫ﻟﻤﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ‬ T1 ‫اﻟﺴﯿﻄﺮة‬ ‫ﺑﻤﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ‬ ‫ﻗﻮرﻧﺖ‬ ‫ﻋﻨﺪﻣﺎ‬ ، ‫ﺑﯿﻦ‬ ‫اﻟﻌﻠﻒ‬ ‫أﺳﺘﮭﻼك‬ ‫ﻓﻲ‬ ‫ﻣﻌﻨﻮي‬ ‫ﺗﻐﯿﺮ‬ ‫أي‬ ‫ﻣﻼﺣﻈﺔ‬ ‫ﯾﺘﻢ‬ ‫ﻟﻢ‬ ‫اﻟﻤﺠﺎﻣﯿﻊ‬) p>0.05 (، ‫ﻣﻌﻨﻮﯾﺎ‬ ‫ارﺗﻔﺎﻋﺎ‬ ‫ﺷﮭﺪ‬ ‫اﻻﯾﻀﻲ‬ ‫اﻟﻌﺎﻣﻞ‬) p<0.05 (‫ﻣ‬ ‫اﻧﺨﻔﺾ‬ ‫اﻟﺠﺴﻢ‬ ‫وزن‬ ‫ان‬ ‫ﺣﯿﻦ‬ ‫ﻓﻲ‬ ‫ﻌﻨﻮﯾﺎ‬) p>0.05 (‫ﻓﻲ‬ ‫ﺣﯿﻮاﻧﺎت‬ ‫ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ‬ T2 ، ‫ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺘﻲ‬ ‫ﻣﻦ‬ ‫ﻛﻼ‬ ‫ﻓﻲ‬ ‫اﻟﻤﻤﻐﻨﻂ‬ ‫اﻟﻤﺎء‬ ‫ﺷﺮب‬ ‫ﻓﻲ‬ ‫ﻣﻌﻨﻮﯾﺎ‬ ‫ازدﯾﺎدا‬ ‫ﺳﺠﻞ‬ ‫و‬ T1 ‫و‬ T2) p<0.001 ‫و‬ p<0.01 (‫اﻟﺴﯿﻄﺮة‬ ‫ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ‬ ‫ﻣﻊ‬ ‫ﻣﻘﺎرﻧﺔ‬ ‫اﻟﺘﻮاﻟﻲ‬ ‫ﻋﻠﻰ‬. ‫ﺑﺸﺪة‬ ‫ﻣﻐﻨﺎﻃﯿﺴﯿﺎ‬ ‫اﻟﻤﻌﺎﻟﺞ‬ ‫اﻟﻤﺎء‬ ‫ﺑﺄن‬ ‫اﻟﺒﺤﺚ‬ ‫ھﺬا‬ ‫ﻣﻦ‬ ‫ﯾﺴﺘﻨﺘﺞ‬ ١٠٠٠ ‫ﻛﺎوس‬ ‫ﻋ‬ ‫ﺿﺎرا‬ ‫ﺗﺄﺛﯿﺮا‬ ‫أﻗﻞ‬ ‫و‬ ‫ﻓﺎﺋﺪة‬ ‫أﻛﺜﺮ‬ ‫ﻣﻐﻨﺎﻃﯿﺴﯿﺔ‬ ‫ﺑﺸﺪة‬ ‫اﻟﻤﻌﺎﻟﺞ‬ ‫اﻟﻤﺎء‬ ‫ﻣﻦ‬ ‫اﻟﺤﻲ‬ ‫اﻟﺠﺴﻢ‬ ‫ﻠﻰ‬ ٢٠٠٠ ‫ﻛﺎوس‬.

Twenty four pregnant Awassi ewes were used in this study, and were randomly assigned into three groups, first group, were drinking tap water and regarded as control group, second and third groups were drinking amagnetic- treated water with 500 and 1000 gauss respectively. To study the effect of magnetic water intensities on milk production before weaning, commercial, daily and total milk production, milk composition, hematological, biochemical parameters of ewes and lambs growth. All groups of ewes were fed on the same ration during the experimental period. Results indicated that increasing magnetic water intensities from zero (tap water) to1000 gauss (third group) had significantly (P<0,05) increased milk yield before weaning, commercial, daily and total milk production by 23.03 kg, 10.51 kg, 33.54 kg, and 149 g, respectively. Percentages of protein, fat and total solid of milk, some hematological (RBC, WBC, HB and percentage of lymphocytes cell), biochemical (total proteinand globulin) parameters,and which finally increased significantly weight of lambs and ewes. While no significant effect was found between first (tap water) and second (500 gauss) groups, and between second (500 gauss water) and third (1000 gauss) groups in all traits studied.

This work aimed to test the responses of the fertility, semen quality, blood constituents, immunity and antioxidant status of rabbit bucks to water type (e.g., tap water and well water) and magnetizing of water exposed or unexposed to a magnetic field of ≈4000 gauss. The experimental design was factorial 2 (type of water, e.g. tap vs. well water) × 2 (magnetic treatments, e.g. unexposed vs. exposed to magnetic field) using forty mature V-line rabbit bucks randomly distributed to four groups of 10 animals each. The rabbit bucks were provided free access to the water and same diet. Well water had lower quality than tap water, i.e. higher pH, conductivity, salinity, calcium, magnesium, and total hardness. Water magnetizing had less effect on tap water than on well water (e.g. on pH, conductivity, salinity, calcium, magnesium, total hardness and dissolved oxygen). Bucks that consumed tap water showed better semen quality, metabolic profiles and immunity than those that drank well water. Magnetized water significantly increased body weight, feed intake, reaction time, fertility, sperm concentration, mass motility and total live sperm of bucks consuming well water and tap water. The improvements in fertility and semen quality concurred with significant increases in testosterone hormone, immunoglobulin A, antioxidant enzymes, and with decreases in lipid peroxidation biomarker malondialdehyde and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances. In conclusion, well water induced a significant decrease in semen quality and hence fertility of males. Whereas magnetic treatment improved water quality, semen quality, blood picture and antioxidant status and hence buck fertility.

Water treatment using a magnetic field is an attractive but controversial issue with regard to its effects on human health. This study aimed to investigate the effects of water treatment using a magnetic field on the bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), bone area (BA), bone resistance (BR), blood gas analysis, blood viscosity, and blood biochemical profile of rats. Forty-eight Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups: control (n = 24) and magnetic water-treated (n = 24). Each of these groups was subdivided into 3 groups to evaluate 3 consumption periods (15, 30, and 45 d). The animals were kept in metabolic cages throughout the experiment. A completely randomized design distributed to a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement was used. No significant difference was found in the water intake, dry matter intake, BA, or femoral head resistance between the groups. However, higher anion gap and lower CHCO3 were found in the arterial blood of the magnetic water-treated group. There was significant interaction between the water consumption period and the BR, BMD, and BMC. With 15 d of consumption, there was no difference in the BMC and BR. With 30 d of consumption, the BR (midshaft), BMD, and BMC showed increases; the increases were greater with 45 d of consumption. In adulthood, every month of the animal is approximately equivalent to 2.5 human years. The consumption of water treated by magnetic field for 45 d provided an effective way to improve BMD, BMC and BR in rats.

Camel-derived haemoglobin O2 carriers (CHBOC) are being developed as a blood substitutes for allogeneic RBCs or to improve tissue oxygenation. The tolerability of the developed product was evaluated in 10 moderately exsanguinated (40%) experimental mongrel dogs that were randomized to receive either 40 g/l CHBOC dissolved in lactated Ringer’s solution at a rate of 5 ml/kg (Test group-14 trials) or 6 g/l HES 200 solution - 6% hydroxyethyl starch (Fresenius Kabi-Germany) dissolved in saline at a rate of - 5ml/kg- (Control group-6 trials). Overall, the clinical, haematological and biochemical responses were normal. The CHBOC was well tolerated and a promising product. However additional studies are needed to confirm the safety of the new CHBOC product in the realm of acellular blood transfusion.
