Consumption of hydrogen-rich water protects against ferric nitrilotriacetate-induced nephrotoxicity and early tumor promotional events in rats.

In rats, consumption of hydrogen-rich water decreased the incidence of renal cell carcinoma and suppressed tumor growth in Fe-NTA-treated in rats. These results are preclinical and suggest molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential in the condition studied. Further human research is needed to establish clinical effectiveness.

Hydrogen inhibits endometrial cancer growth via a ROS/NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD-mediated pyroptotic pathway.

In mice, hydrogen pretreatment upregulated ROS and the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins, and increased the number of PI- and TUNEL-positive cells, as well as the release of LDH and IL-1β, however, GSDMD depletion reduced their release. These preclinical findings add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential within the outcomes and biological pathways measured in this model.

Effects of hydrogen-rich water and ascorbic acid treatment on spontaneously hypertensive rats.

In comparison to control rats given distilled water (DW), the researchers found that HW did not significantly influence systolic blood pressure (SBP) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in SHR; however, the increase in SBP and DBP were inhibited in the HWA group. These preclinical findings add evidence about the molecular-hydrogen effects, outcomes, and biological pathways measured in this model.

Molecular hydrogen therapy in musculoskeletal conditions: An evidence-based review and critical analysis.

This narrative review examined the available molecular-hydrogen literature. Preclinical models consistently showed reductions in reactive oxygen species, inflammatory cytokines, and improved cell viability. Common limitations included small sample sizes, short durations, and protocol heterogeneity. The reviewed evidence adds support for molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential across the conditions, mechanisms, or outcomes examined.

Molecular hydrogen inhibits lipopolysaccharide/interferon γ-induced nitric oxide production through modulation of signal transduction in macrophages.

In a laboratory model, treatment with hydrogen reduced LPS/IFNγ-induced NO release, which was associated with a diminished induction of inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The authors concluded that taken together, the authors' studies indicate that hydrogen inhibits LPS/IFNγ-induced NO production through modulation of signal transduction in macrophages and ameliorates inflammatory arthritis in mice, providing the molecular basis for hydrogen effects on inflammation and a functional interaction between two gaseous signaling molecules, NO and molecular hydrogen. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.
