H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
The researchers found that hydrogen-rich medium can increase ATP content, mitochondrial membrane potential and maximal respiration rate, and decrease the expression of Drp1 in LPS-treated HUVECs. The authors concluded that hydrogen-rich medium can alleviate the LPS-induced mitochondrial fusion/fission and dysfunction in HUVECs via HO-1 up-regulation. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.
