• Resumen

  • Objective. Our aim is to investigate the effect of balneotherapy on clinical symptoms of osteoarthritis and vascular endothelium.

    Conclusion. Balneotherapy provides meaningful improvements on clinical parameters of GOA. Significant increase in plasma L-arginine and L-arginine/ADMA ratio suggest that balneotherapy may play a preventive role on cardiovascular diseases.
