H2HUBB TAKEAWAY

In rats, hydrogen saline prevents selenite-induced cataract in 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.

What the Researchers Studied

The study examined rats.

How Molecular Hydrogen Was Used

Group C also received an intraperitoneal injection of H₂ saline (5 ml/kg bodyweight) daily from postnatal day 8 to postnatal day 17.

What the Researchers Found

The magnitude of lens opacification in Group B was significantly higher than in Group A (p Conclusions This is an initial report showing that hydrogen saline can prevent selenite-induced cataract in rats.

H₂ Mechanisms / Biological Findings

The aim of this study was to investigate the potential antioxidative effect and mechanism for the protective effects of hydrogen saline on selenite-induced cataract in rats.

Authors’ Conclusion

A distinct authors’ conclusion was not available in the source material reviewed by H2HUBB.

Protective effect of saturated hydrogen saline against blue light-induced retinal damage in rats.

Mei Feng, Xing-Hua Wang, Xiao-Bo Yang, Qing Xiao, Fa-Gang Jiang · International journal of ophthalmology · 2012

In female Sprague-Dawley rats, saturated hydrogen saline could protect the retina from light-induced damage by attenuating oxidative stress. These results are preclinical and suggest molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential in the condition studied. Further human…
