H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In mice, these data suggest the need for additional research on HRW as a potential preventive strategy for autism and related disorders. 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 Found
These data suggest the need for additional research on HRW as a potential preventive strategy for autism and related disorders.
Biological or Mechanistic Findings
Due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects, recent research has demonstrated that molecular hydrogen can serve as a new medical approach for depression, anxiety and traumatic brain injury. The present study aims to investigate the potential effects of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) administration on valproic acid (VPA)-induced autistic-like behavioral deficits, and the associated underlying mechanism in adolescent mice offspring.
Authors’ Conclusion
The authors concluded that these data suggest the need for additional research on HRW as a potential preventive strategy for autism and related disorders. These results are preclinical and suggest molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential in the condition studied. Further human research is needed to establish clinical effectiveness.
