Marine therapy and its healing properties

Curr Aging Sci. 2013 Feb;6(1):63-75. doi: 10.2174/1874609811306010009.

Abstract

This study demonstrates the effects of Quinton's isotonic and hypertonic solution on mononuclear cells of peripheral blood. This involved assessing cell viability, morphology, number and size of aggregated cells; possible effects on cellular proliferation; effects on cellular proliferation in different lymphocyte populations; effect on hemoglobin released into the medium.
