Hormone Replacement Therapy and Lipids
In 1997, the average life span for Japanese women was 83.82 years, the highest worldwide average for 13 years. However, sometimes the faces of Japanese women don’t look so well. Their quality of life is also v...

Suppression of glutamate-induced neural cell death by electrolyzed-reduced water
Electrolyzed-reduced water (ERW) produced by electrolyzing water in cathode side has the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here, we investigated the effect of ERW on oxidative stress-induced n...

Suppression of Oxidative Stress-Induced Apoptosis of Neuronal Cells by Electrolyzed-Reduced Water
We have proposed an active hydrogen reduced water theory that active hydrogen produced by electrolysis of water is stabilized in the form of hydrogenated metal nanocolloids in electrolyzed reduced water (ERW) ...

Suppression of Cell Growth by Platinum Nanocolloids as Scavengers against Reactive Oxygen Species
Electrolysed-reduced water (ERW) contained Platinum nanocolloids (PtNCs) of 1–10 nm, suggesting that PtNCs in ERW functioned as active hydrogen donors and scavenge intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). ...

Experimental Study on Thermal Strain Creating in Barrier Sheet in Waste Landfill
Many types of barrier sheets are widely used in waste landfill in Japan. But these materials have high values of coefficient of thermal expansion comparing with other construction materials. This causes therma...
