Mechanism of hydrogen-rich water alleviating radiation-induced cognitive impairment through PI3K/AKT/Caspase-9 pathway mediating anti-oxidation.

In rats, hydrogen-rich water can improve the radiation-induced cognitive impairment in rats induced by ionizing radiation through anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, and regulation of PI3K/AKT/Caspase-9 pathway, and there is a certain dose-effect relationship. These preclinical findings add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential within the outcomes and biological pathways measured in this model.

Inhalation of high-concentration hydrogen gas attenuates cognitive deficits in a rat model of asphyxia induced-cardiac arrest.

In Neuronal degeneration within hippocampal Cornu Ammonis 1 (CA1) regions was examined by Fluoro-Jade staining ex vivo, both hydrogen gas treatment regimens significantly improved spatial learning function and attenuated neuronal degeneration within hippocampal CA1 regions at 18 days post-resuscitation. These findings come from a laboratory model and suggest molecular hydrogen's biological potential. Further research is needed to determine clinical relevance.

Therapeutic Efficacy of Molecular Hydrogen: A New Mechanistic Insight.

This narrative review examined however, many reports on therapeutic applications of H₂ have the limitation to regard H₂ only as a scavenger for the hydroxyl radical and peroxynitrite. H₂ is proposed to convert the quinone intermediates to the fully reduced ubiquinol, thereby increasing the antioxidant capacity of the quinone pool as well as preventing the generation of ROS. The reviewed evidence adds support for molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential across the conditions, mechanisms, or outcomes examined.

[Protective effects of inhaled hydrogen gas on cognitive function in mice with sepsis-associated encephalopathy].

In mice, compared with sepsis group, neurological function significantly improved and damaged neurons in hippocampal CA1 region significantly reduced. The activities of SOD and CAT markedly increased and the levels of MDA and 8-iso-PGF2α markedly decreased in sera and hippocampus; the time in new zone and the percentage of freezing time dramatically increased at days 3 to 14 post-operations in sepsis+H₂ group (P < 0.05). These preclinical findings add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential within the outcomes and biological pathways measured in this model.
