H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
This narrative review examined the available molecular-hydrogen literature. Mounting evidence has demonstrated that such gases as oxygen, hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide are able to provide neuroprotection after stroke. The reviewed evidence adds support for molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential across the conditions, mechanisms, or outcomes examined.
What the Findings Mean
H2HUBB reviewed this publication as a synthesis of molecular-hydrogen research and summarizes the outcomes emphasized by the authors. Mounting evidence has demonstrated that such gases as oxygen, hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide are able to provide neuroprotection after stroke.

What Effects Did Molecular Hydrogen Have?
Mounting evidence has demonstrated that such gases as oxygen, hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide are able to provide neuroprotection after stroke. The authors concluded that these results suggest that the role of H₂ S in cerebral ischemic might be double-sided depends on the concentration. 26 The usage of therapeutic hydrogen for treatment of ischemic stroke is promising, but its positive effects need to be replicated in the clinic studies and underlying mechanisms need to be further investigated.
Why These Findings Matter
The reviewed evidence adds support for molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential across the conditions, mechanisms, or outcomes examined.
How Strong Is This Evidence?
This is review or synthesis evidence (narrative review).
