Protective Effect of Hydrogen Gas Inhalation on Muscular Damage Using a Mouse Hindlimb Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Model.

In mice, infarct zone and area with loss of tissue structure and marked cellular infiltration were significantly decreased in groups treated by hydrogen gas inhalation during ischemia-reperfusion; however, these effects were not observed by posttreatment of hydrogen. These preclinical findings add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential within the outcomes and biological pathways measured in this model.

Alleviation of exercise-induced injury by hydrogen inhalation via the reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation in athletes.

After a single postexercise intervention, the H₂ group showed improved antioxidant capacity and reduced WBC and CRP levels. This source-grounded publication contributes evidence relevant to molecular hydrogen and is retained in a transparent general research category when a more specific study design is not supported by the indexed record.

Effects of Molecular Hydrogen in the Pathophysiology and Management of Metabolic and Non-communicable Diseases

This narrative review examined there are gaps in the knowledge about the role molecular hydrogen plays, in the treatment of metabolic diseases and other NCDs This review aims to discuss the role of hydrogen in the pathogenesis and prevention of NCDs. Western diet and lifestyle, which are major risk factors of NCDs, are known to cause oxidative stress and decrease in production of molecular hydrogen in the intestines which leads to a decline in endogenous antioxidant status in the body, leading to increase in systemic inflammation. The reviewed evidence adds support for molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential across the conditions, mechanisms, or outcomes examined.

Mast Cells as a Potential Target of Molecular Hydrogen in Regulating the Local Tissue Microenvironment.

This narrative review examined the available molecular-hydrogen literature. H₂ regulates the processing of pro-inflammatory components of the mast cell secretome and their entry into the extracellular matrix; this can significantly affect the capacity of the integrated-buffer metabolism and the structure of the immune landscape of the local tissue microenvironment. The reviewed evidence adds support for molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential across the conditions, mechanisms, or outcomes examined.

Accurate in vivo real-time determination of the hydrogen concentration in different tissues of mice after hydrogen inhalation.

In mice, the H₂ saturation concentrations varied among tissues significantly regardless of the concentration of H₂ inhaled, and they were detected the highest in the kidney but the lowest in the gastrocnemius. These preclinical findings add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential within the outcomes and biological pathways measured in this model.

Electrolyzed-reduced water reduced hemodialysis-induced erythrocyte impairment in end-stage renal disease patients.

In participants with chronic HD were enrolled and received ERW administration for 6 month, hD resulted in decreased plasma VC, total antioxidant status, and erythrocyte metHb/ferricyanide reductase activity and increased erythrocyte levels of phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide (PCOOH) and plasma metHb. These findings add human evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential to influence inflammatory regulation.
