[The effect of internal course intake of selenium-modified mineral water on bone mineral density after long-term diet-induced metabolic disorders in the experiment. (Randomized controlled trial)].

Introduction: The phenomenon of therapeutic and prophylactic effect of natural mineral waters (MW) used to restore tissue tolerance to glucose and normalize basal insulin secretion in metabolic syndrome is well known. At the same time, the use of selenium-enriched MW is promising due to its multitarget action including participation in the regulation of the protein-synthesizing function of cells.

Aim: To study the effect of internal course intake of selenium-modified mineral waters of different composition on bone mineral density after long-term diet-induced metabolic disorders in the experiment.

[Investigation of the metabolic effects of selenium-modified Essentuki mineral water in the experiment].

Background: The urgent tasks of experimental balneology are to design and investigate of the action of native mineral waters (MW) enriched with essential trace elements in order to improve their therapeutic and prophylactic effects.

Objective: To investigate the mechanisms of direct action of the cycle intake of Essentuki MWs modified with selenium (Essentuki Novaya - MW1, Essentuki No. 4 - MW2) on healthy animals.

[The evaluation of the effectiveness of the application of bischofite-modified yellow clay (an experimental studi)].

Background: The topical problems in balneotherapeutics and health resort activities in general are the development of the yellow clay-based preparations enriched in the natural mineral bischofite and the investigation of their therapeutic effects with the purpose of improvement of their curative potential.

Aim: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the course of the experimental therapeutic applications of the yellow clay obtained by the open pit mining of its deposits located in the vicinity of Pyatigorsk and modified by the addition of bischofite.

Material And Methods: The experiments were carried out with the use of 57 eugamic Wistar male rats with adjuvant arthritis.
