Abstract :
Thermal water tourism is intense in Afronkarahisar province where is in a geographical zone rich for thermal water sources. Thermal water in this zone is used for mainly bath and drinking cure by the local people and tourists. Because this study is an implementation of drinking cure, effects of antioxidant indicators, biochemical parameters and renal tissue were investigated for most widely consumed thermal water by the people. Thermal water, vitamin C added thermal water, tap water and vitamin C added tap water were given to the rats during 30 days.Tissue and blood samples were taken at the end of 30 days. Our study showed that vitamin C is a strong antioxidant effect. Decrease in AST (aspartate amino transaminase) levels were observed in Vitamin C groups. Used water resources can be said that additive effect on the level of AST. On urea, BUN and creatinin levels which are indicators of renal function observed no effect in only thermal water given group. However, levels of Urea, BUN and Creatinine in vitamin C given groups observed statistically significant decrease. It can be said that Vitamin C is more supportive than thermal water. In histopathologic examination of the groups has been identified increased expansion between Bowman s space and glomerul in the thermal water given group. Because, in this region, the thermal water is primarily used for dropping kidney As a result, the use of the thermal water may lead to oxidative and tissular damage in heart tissue. The thermal water as drinking cure may not indicate expected anti-oxidants and restorative effects.
