The publication “Hydrogen-saturated saline protects intensive narrow band noise-induced hearing loss in guinea pigs through an antioxidant effect.” is organized in H2HUBB under the research focus injected hydrogen oxidative stress study 2014. The publication is cited as Chen L, Yu N, Lu Y, Wu L, Chen D, Guo W, Zhao L, Liu M, Yang S, Sun X, Zhai S, PloS one, 2014. This animal study examined Hydrogen-saturated saline protects intensive narrow band noise-induced hearing loss in guinea pigs through an antioxidant effect. The abstract describes Animal model; hydrogen delivered as injected or infused hydrogen. The abstract reports: By Scanning electron microscopy and succinate dehydrogenase staining, we found that pre-treatment with hydrogen-saturated saline significantly reduced noise-induced hair cell damage and hearing loss. This is an automated editorial draft based on the abstract and requires source review before publication.
Injected hydrogen oxidative stress study 2014 overview
The purpose of the current study was to evaluate hydrogen-saturated saline protecting intensive narrow band noise-induced hearing loss. 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: Animal model. Blinding: Unknown. Control status: Control group reported.
Delivery method: Injected or infused hydrogen.
Reported findings and scientific interpretation
For this injected hydrogen oxidative stress study 2014, the study record reports the following: The abstract reports: By Scanning electron microscopy and succinate dehydrogenase staining, we found that pre-treatment with hydrogen-saturated saline significantly reduced noise-induced hair cell damage and hearing loss.
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.
