H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In a laboratory model, the levels of p-Akt (Ser 473) and Bcl-2 were significantly increased while Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were decreased by hydrogen treatment on the model of H/R. The authors concluded that these results suggest that H/R causes oxidative stress-induced cell death and that the hydrogen protects against H/R-induced cell death in HT22 cells, in part, due to reducing expression of miR-200 family. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.
