Abstract: Microbubbles are very small bubbles with diameters less than several tens of micrometers, and chemical and physical properties different from those of normal bubbles. An important characteristic of microbubble is that they are electrically charged at the gas-water interface (C-potential). Microbubble bathing is thought to reduce the activity of the sympathetic nervous system and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated when humans feel relaxed, and relaxation is important for improving depression. Therefore, it is speculated that recovery of energy via microbubbles can be applied in anti-depression treatment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the restoration of vitality due to microbubbles produced by two types of microbubbles generators (slit-type and pressurized- dissolution-type) using the mouse forced swimming test, and to evaluate the relationship between the microbubble characteristics and bubble dynamics. In this study, the recovery of vitality is estimated from the globopentaosylceramide (GPC) value. GPC is the biochemical marker of vitality. It was confirmed that vitality was effectively restored when using a microbubble bath produced by the slit-type generator. Microbubbles generated by the slit-type generator showed higher electrical potential at the gas-water interface than those generated by the pressurized-dissolution-type generator. GPC was effectively increased by microbubbles with high ζ-potential.
