H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In a laboratory model, electrolyzed reduced water, which is capable of scavenging reactive oxygen species, is attracting recent attention because it has shown improved efficacy against several types of diseases including diabetes mellitus. The authors concluded that these results suggest that electrolyzed reduced water can prevent apoptosis of pancreatic β-cells and the development of symptoms in type 1 diabetes model mice by alleviating the alloxan-derived generation of reactive oxygen species. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.
