The publication “Protective effects of hydrogen gas in a rat model of branch retinal vein occlusion via decreasing VEGF-α expression” is organized in H2HUBB under the research focus hydrogen inhalation eye health study 2019. The publication is cited as Long Pan, Yan Weiming, He Mengshan, Zhang Qianli, Wang Zhe, Li Manhong, Xue Junhui, Chen Tao, An Jing, Zhang Zuoming, BMC Ophthalmology, 2019. This animal study examined Protective effects of hydrogen gas in a rat model of branch retinal vein occlusion via decreasing VEGF-α expression. The abstract describes Rat model; hydrogen delivered as hydrogen inhalation. The abstract reports: Our findings demonstrate that inhalation of hydrogen gas could alleviate retinal oedema, shorten reopen time and improve retinal function, and the potential mechanism might….

Hydrogen inhalation eye health study 2019 overview
Oxidative stress (OS) is an essential factor in the pathogenesis of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Studies have demonstrated the role of hydrogen gas… Animal research can identify biological effects and support future investigation, but it cannot by itself establish safety or effectiveness in humans.
Study design and hydrogen intervention
Publication type: Animal study. Evidence type: Preclinical animal evidence. Research model or population: Rat model. Blinding: Unknown. Control status: Unknown.
Delivery method: Hydrogen inhalation.
Reported findings and scientific interpretation
For this hydrogen inhalation eye health study 2019, the study record reports the following: The abstract reports: Our findings demonstrate that inhalation of hydrogen gas could alleviate retinal oedema, shorten reopen time and improve retinal function, and the potential mechanism might…
These findings should be interpreted as one piece of evidence rather than as a stand-alone medical conclusion. Results can be influenced by the research model, study design, treatment protocol, sample size, outcome selection, statistical methods, and whether the findings have been independently reproduced.
How this research record was prepared
H2HUBB organizes bibliographic details, study design information, intervention data, outcomes, limitations, and safety notes from the available scientific source. Automated classification supports database organization, but it does not replace critical reading of the complete paper. Source identifiers, evidence labels, and delivery-method fields are retained so readers can verify the record and compare it with related publications. A missing field means the information was unavailable or not reported in the structured source; it should not be treated as a negative finding.
Limitations, safety, and original source
Limitations: Preclinical animal findings may not translate directly to human outcomes.
Safety: The abstract did not provide detailed safety or adverse-event information.
This H2HUBB page is an educational research record, not medical advice. Review the original scientific source for the complete methods and results. Continue exploring the H2HUBB Molecular Hydrogen Research Library to compare evidence types, delivery methods, and related topics.
