H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In a laboratory model, the protective effect of hydrogen (H(2)) on ROS-induced diseases has been proved by many researches, which demonstrated that through eliminating •OH and •ONOO-, H(2) could effectively attenuate lipid and DNA peroxidation, improve cellular antioxidant capacity, and then protect cells against oxidant damage. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.

What Effects Did Molecular Hydrogen Have?
The protective effect of hydrogen (H(2)) on ROS-induced diseases has been proved by many researches, which demonstrated that through eliminating •OH and •ONOO-, H(2) could effectively attenuate lipid and DNA peroxidation, improve cellular antioxidant capacity, and then protect cells against oxidant damage. the researchers hypothesize that owing to its peculiarity to eliminate toxic ROS, hydrogen therapy may be a novel and effective treatment for COPD.
Why These Findings Matter
These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.
How Strong Is This Evidence?
This is laboratory evidence from a in vitro cell-culture laboratory experiment. It is most informative for the biological mechanisms, cellular responses, or biochemical outcomes directly measured.
