Table 2 Effects of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on water intake and renal functions in SHR-cp rats

	Water intake	Urine flow	Urine			Creatinine clearance
			Albumin (A)	Creatinine (C)	AC ratio
	(mL/kg BW. day)	(mL/kg BW. day)	(mg/kg BW. day)	(mg/kg BW. day)		(mL/min)
Control group	71.1 ± 1.8	47.5 ± 2.4	161.7 ± 14.0	24.4 ± 1.3	6.81 ± 0.64	5.16 ± 0.4
(n = 10)
HRW group	113.7 ± 3.5*	62.0 ± 6.3*	129.9 ± 10.9	25.1 ± 0.6	5.17 ± 0.42*	6.28 ± 0.36*
(n = 11)

Values are mean ± SE. *P < 0.05, BW, body weight; AC ratio, albumin to creatinine ratio.
These data were obtained from SHR-cp rats housed for 24 h in metabolic cages, except that of plasma creatinine concentrations, which were cited in Table 1.
