[The effect of balneotherapy on the gastrointestinal hormone level of patients with digestive organ diseases subjected to small doses of radiation exposure].
Balneotherapy with several mineral waters at health resorts proved effective in 228 patients with GI diseases. All of them were exposed to low-dose radiation as a result of the Chernobyl accident. Such treatment promoted a decrease in initially elevated basal level of insulin, improved production of gastrin and C-peptide.
