H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
This narrative review examined the available molecular-hydrogen literature. Hydrogen (H₂) is colorless, odorless, and the lightest of gas molecules. 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. Hydrogen (H₂) is colorless, odorless, and the lightest of gas molecules.
What the Researchers Studied
The authors reviewed hydrogen Therapy in Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases: from Bench to Bedside.
What Effects Did Molecular Hydrogen Have?
Hydrogen (H₂) is colorless, odorless, and the lightest of gas molecules. Studies in the past ten years have indicated that H₂ is extremely important in regulating the homeostasis of the cardiovascular system and metabolic activity. Delivery of H₂ by various strategies improves cardiometabolic diseases, including atherosclerosis, vascular injury, ischemic or hypertrophic ventricular remodeling, intermittent hypoxia- or heart transplantation-induced heart injury, obesity and diabetes in animal models or in clinical trials.
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).
