H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In The researchers previously showed that H₂ acts as a novel antioxidant to protect cells against oxidative stress, exposure of cultured cells to the H₂-dependently autoxidized phospholipid species reduced Ca(2+) signal transduction and mediated the expression of various genes as revealed by comprehensive microarray analysis. The authors concluded that subsequently, numerous studies have indicated the potential applications of H₂ in therapeutic and preventive medicine. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.
