Hydrogen protects auditory hair cells from cisplatin-induced free radicals.
Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of various malignancies. However, its maximum dose is often limited by severe ototoxicity. Cisplatin ototoxicity may require the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the inner ear by activating enzymes specific to the cochlea.

Read MoreRandomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of hydrogen inhalation for Parkinson’s disease: a pilot study
Oxidative stress is involved in the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent studies have confirmed that molecular hydrogen (H) functions as a highly effective antioxidant in animal models of PD. A placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group clinical pilot study was conducted to assess the efficacy of hydrogen gas inhalation in Japanese patients with PD on treatment with levodopa.
Read MoreA randomized double-blind multi-center trial of hydrogen water for Parkinson’s disease: protocol and baseline characteristics.
Our previous randomized double-blind study showed that drinking hydrogen (H2) water for 48 weeks significantly improved the total Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) score of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients treated with levodopa. We aim to confirm this result using a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled multi-center trial. Changes in the total UPDRS scores from baseline to the 8(th), 24(th), 48(th), and 72(nd) weeks, and after the 8(th) week, will be evaluated.

Read MoreInhalation of hydrogen gas elevates urinary 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanine in Parkinson’s disease.
Hyposmia is one of the earliest and the most common symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). The benefits of hydrogen water on motor deficits have been reported in animal PD models and PD patients, but the effects of hydrogen gas on PD patients have not been studied. We evaluated the effect of inhalation of hydrogen gas on olfactory function, non-motor symptoms, activities of daily living, and urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanine (8-OHdG) levels by a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover trial with an 8-week washout period in 20 patients with PD.

Read MoreRole and mechanism of molecular hydrogen in the treatment of Parkinson’s diseases.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a pathology that includes the aggregation of alpha-synuclein (α-syn), oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. While existing treatments can alleviate motor symptoms, they have limited efficacy in slowing disease progression and improving non-motor symptoms. In recent years, molecular hydrogen has been recognized for its potential neuroprotective effects, attributed to its selective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Read MoreEmerging mechanisms and novel applications of hydrogen gas therapy.
Clinical and pre-clinical studies have reported a broad range of applications for hydrogen gas therapy. Classically, conventional antioxidant therapy is limited because it neutralizes both the detrimental and protective effects of reactive oxygen species. As a weak reducing agent, hydrogen gas avoids this paradox by reacting with strong oxidants while leaving other beneficial oxidants reactive.
