H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In CD4+ and CD8+ T cells subtypes were detected by flow cytometry with FITC-labelled antimouse CD4 and PE antimouse CD8 staining, radical oxygen species level was also reduced by H(2) treatment. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.
What the Findings Mean
H2HUBB reviewed how molecular hydrogen affected the outcomes measured in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells subtypes were detected by flow cytometry with FITC-labelled antimouse CD4 and PE antimouse CD8 staining. Radical oxygen species level was also reduced by H(2) treatment.
What the Researchers Studied
The researchers studied CD4+ and CD8+ T cells subtypes were detected by flow cytometry with FITC-labelled antimouse CD4 and PE antimouse CD8 staining. The study used a in vitro cell-culture laboratory experiment.
What Effects Did Molecular Hydrogen Have?
Recent studies showed that hydrogen can be used as an effective radioprotective agent through scavenging free radicals. This study was undertaken to evaluate the radioprotective effects of hydrogen on immune system in mice. Radical oxygen species level was also reduced by H(2) treatment.
Why These Findings Matter
These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.
How Strong Is This Evidence?
This is laboratory evidence from a in vitro cell-culture laboratory experiment. It is most informative for the biological mechanisms, cellular responses, or biochemical outcomes directly measured.
