What Effects Did Molecular Hydrogen Have?
Hydrogen therapy is an emerging and promising therapy strategy of using molecular hydrogen as a new type of safe and effective therapeutic agent, exhibiting remarkable therapeutic effects on many oxidative stress-/inflammation-related diseases owing to its bio-reductivity and homeostatic regulation ability. Different from other gaseous transmitters such as NO, CO, and H₂ S, hydrogen gas has no blood poisoning risk at high concentration because it does not affect the oxygen-carrying behavior of blood red cells. In this review, various strategies of micro/nanomaterials-augmented hydrogen therapy, including micro/nanomaterials-mediated targeted hydrogen delivery, controlled hydrogen release, and nanocatalytic and multimodel enhancement of hydrogen therapy efficacy, are summarized, which can open a new window for treatment of inflammation-related diseases.
