title: [Influences of some homeopathic preparations on ionic homeostasis at different dilutions].
abstract: Considerable number of the investigations are dedicated to the study of the influences of the various agents on ionic homeostasis of the cell. However, there are actually no works related to the impact on these indices of homeopathic preparations (HP). In the present work influence of HP - stimulated phosphoric acid (PA), at low dilutions (10(-14) and 10(-42)) and non-stimulated PA, at high dilutions (10(-200) and 10(-400)), on transmembrane transport of Na+, K+, Ca2+, and enzymes - Na,K-ATPase and Ca-ATPase - was investigated. Experiments were carried out by means of ion-selective electrodes, in order to measure concentration of ions in the Ringer solution. Results have shown that HP at low dilution always stimulated observed indices, while HP at high dilution - suppressed these indices. Therefore, driving force of HP increases with dilution, because number of hydrate complexes increases and so does velocity of information transmission, which is responsible for different effects.
