title: [The ultrastructural reactions of cells to the action of potable silicon-containing waters].
abstract: Hepatic structural adaptative changes at the cellular and subcellular levels were found to develop when silicon-containing waters were orally used with increases in silicon levels. There were phasic changes in the cellular bioenergy, which associated with changes in the number and extent of intercellular unions. The ultrastructures providing intracellular ion exchange are regarded as an important link in the mechanism of action of drinking natural silicon-containing waters.
