It has been reported that water at the interface of a hydrophilic thin film forms an exclusion zone, which has a higher density than\nordinary water. A similar phenomenon was observed for a hydrated hydrophilic ceramic powder, and water turns into a threedimensional\ncell-like structure composed of high density water and low density water. This structured water appears to have a\nstimulative effect on plant growth. This report outlines our study of antioxidant properties of this structured water and its effect on\ncell bioactivities. Culturing media which were prepared utilizing this antioxidant structured water promoted the viability of RAW\n264.7 macrophage cells by up to three times. The same tendency was observed for other cells including IEC-6, C2C12, and 3T3-L1.\nAlso, the cytokine expression of the splenocytes taken from a mouse spleen increased in the same manner.The water also appears\nto suppress the viability of cancer cell,MCF-7. These results strongly suggest that the structured water helps the activities of normal\ncells while suppressing those of malignant cells.
