H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In In the authors' in vitro study, CS silage was more degraded and fermented than NG silage, which would be thought to lead to increased H₂ production(7), increased dCH4 concentration with the CS diet presumably led to the decreased ruminal dH2 concentration, which may be helpful for fibre degradation and growth of fibrolytic micro-organisms in the rumen. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.
What the Findings Mean
H2HUBB reviewed how molecular hydrogen affected the outcomes measured in In the authors' in vitro study, CS silage was more degraded and fermented than NG silage, which would be thought to lead to increased H₂ production(7). Increased dCH4 concentration with the CS diet presumably led to the decreased ruminal dH2 concentration, which may be helpful for fibre degradation and growth of fibrolytic micro-organisms in the rumen.
What the Researchers Studied
The researchers studied In the authors' in vitro study, CS silage was more degraded and fermented than NG silage, which would be thought to lead to increased H₂ production(7). The study used a in vitro cell-culture laboratory experiment.
What Effects Did Molecular Hydrogen Have?
In the authors' in vitro study, CS silage was more degraded and fermented than NG silage, which would be thought to lead to increased H₂ production(7). Wang M, Sun XZ, Janssen PH, et al. (2014) Responses of meth- ane production and fermentation pathways to the increased dissolved hydrogen concentration generated by eight sub- strates in in vitro ruminal cultures. Increased dCH4 concentration with the CS diet presumably led to the decreased ruminal dH2 concentration, which may be helpful for fibre degradation and growth of fibrolytic micro-organisms in the rumen.
Why These Findings Matter
These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.
How Strong Is This Evidence?
This is laboratory evidence from a in vitro cell-culture laboratory experiment. It is most informative for the biological mechanisms, cellular responses, or biochemical outcomes directly measured.
