Maternal molecular hydrogen administration ameliorates rat fetal hippocampal damage caused by in utero ischemia-reperfusion.

The researchers observed a significant increase in the concentration of H₂ in the placenta after the oral administration of hydrogen-saturated water to the mothers, with less placental oxidative damage after IR in the presence of H₂. These preclinical findings add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential within the outcomes and biological pathways measured in this model.

Fructooligosaccharide feeding during gestation to pregnant mice provided excessive folic acid decreases maternal and female fetal oxidative stress by increasing intestinal microbe-derived hydrogen gas.

In mice, hydrogen gas concentrations in maternal livers and whole fetuses in EFA-FOS were significantly higher than those in CONT and EFA, respectively (P <.05). These preclinical findings add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential within the outcomes and biological pathways measured in this model.

The effect of hydrogen-rich water on letrozole-induced polycystic ovary syndrome in rats.

In rats, the histopathological analysis showed a reduction in the number of cysts in the PCOS + H₂ group compared with the PCOS group (P < 0.0001). These preclinical findings add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential within the outcomes and biological pathways measured in this model.

The Effects of Medium-Term Intake of Hydrogen-Rich Water on Sperm Quality Biomarkers in Normospermic and Oligospermic Men: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial

However, sperm count increased by over 20 million in two of the three oligospermic men (66.7%) receiving hydrogen-rich water, while no oligospermic men in the placebo group increased sperm concentration to euspermic levels, and live cells increased by 3.8%, respectively. These findings come from a laboratory model and suggest molecular hydrogen's biological potential. Further research is needed to determine clinical relevance.

Hydrogen-rich saline attenuates chemotherapy-induced ovarian injury via regulation of oxidative stress.

In female Sprague Dawley rats, hydrogen-rich saline attenuated the FSH release, elevated the level of E2, improved the development of follicles, and reduced the damage to the ovarian cortex at T1, T2 and T3 in the OI + H₂ 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.

Stimulation of human damaged sperm motility with hydrogen molecule.

In a laboratory model, H₂ treatment significantly improved the rate of forward motility, whereas treatment with nitrogen gas did not. The authors concluded that the results illustrated that H₂ treatment stimulates low sperm motility. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.

Hydrogen Gas: A Novel Type of Antioxidant in Modulating Sexual Organs Homeostasis.

This narrative review examined the available molecular-hydrogen literature. The lightest and diffusible gas molecule hydrogen (H₂) has been shown to improve erectile dysfunction (ED), testis injuries, sperm motility in male, preserve ovarian function, protect against uterine inflammation, preeclampsia, and breast cancer in female. The reviewed evidence adds support for molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential across the conditions, mechanisms, or outcomes examined.
