The publication “Protective effects of hydrogen-rich saline on ulcerative colitis rat model.” is organized in H2HUBB under the research focus hydrogen gastrointestinal study 2013. The publication is cited as He J, Xiong S, Zhang J, Wang J, Sun A, Mei X, Sun X, Zhang C, Wang Q, The Journal of surgical research, 2013. This animal study examined Protective effects of hydrogen-rich saline on ulcerative colitis rat model. The abstract describes Rat model; hydrogen delivered as hydrogen-rich saline and injected or infused hydrogen. The abstract reports: Antioxidative hydrogen-rich saline effectively protected the rats from UC, which might be, at least in part, because of inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor. This is an automated editorial draft based on the abstract and requires source review before publication.
Hydrogen gastrointestinal study 2013 overview
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with enhanced production of reactive oxygen species and altered angiogenesis. Molecular hydrogen has been documented as a novel antioxidant… 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-rich saline. Dose or treatment amount: 20 mL.
Reported findings and scientific interpretation
For this hydrogen gastrointestinal study 2013, the study record reports the following: The abstract reports: Antioxidative hydrogen-rich saline effectively protected the rats from UC, which might be, at least in part, because of inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor.
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.
