Molecular hydrogen suppresses Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide-induced increases in interleukin-1 alpha and interleukin-6 secretion in human gingival cells.

The results demonstrated that Pg LPS increased interleukin (IL) 1 alpha (IL-1α) and IL-6 secretion, but H₂ significantly suppressed the secretion of both cytokines without cytotoxicity. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.

High-fat diet promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition through enlarged growth of opportunistic pathogens and the intervention of saturated hydrogen.

In mice, after the treatment of saturated hydrogen, the changes in lung microbial population, lung tissue infiltration of inflammatory cells and the transformation of epithelial stroma caused by high-fat diet were moderately alleviated. These preclinical findings add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential within the outcomes and biological pathways measured in this model.

H2 Protects Against Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction via Blocking TLR4-Mediated Cytokines Expression.

In The mRNA levels of ANP and BNP were examined by PCR in vitro, lPS induced cardiac dysfunction; hydrogen therapy improved cardiac function after LPS challenge. The authors concluded that implications: Hydrogen therapy prevents LPS-induced cardiac dysfunction in part via downregulation of TLR4-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokines expression. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.

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.
