H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In HT22 cells in logarithmic growth phase were cultured in vitro, inverted microscopy showed that compared with the NC group, the OGD/R group had poor cell status, swollen cytosol, visible cell lysis fragments and significantly lower cell activity [(49.1±2.7)% vs. (100.0±9.7)%, P < 0.01]. Compared with the OGD/R group, the HW group had improved cell status and remarkably higher cell activity [(63.3±1.8)% vs. (49.1±2.7)%, P < 0.01]. The authors concluded that hydrogen-rich water has a significant protective effect on OGD/R-causing HT22 cell injury, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of autophagy. 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 hydrogen-rich water affected the outcomes measured in HT22 cells in logarithmic growth phase were cultured in vitro. Inverted microscopy showed that compared with the NC group, the OGD/R group had poor cell status, swollen cytosol, visible cell lysis fragments and significantly lower cell activity [(49.1±2.7)% vs. (100.0±9.7)%, P < 0.01]; compared with the OGD/R group, the HW group had improved cell status and remarkably higher cell activity [(63.3±1.8)% vs. (49.1±2.7)%, P < 0.01].
