H2HUBB TAKEAWAY

In participants, maximum intracavernous pressure in diabetic rats decreased significantly compared to controls and increased significantly compared to untreated diabetic rats after hydrogen-rich saline treatment.

What the Researchers Studied

The researchers investigated the effect of hydrogen on erectile dysfunction in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.

How the Study Was Conducted

Randomized human clinical trial.

How Molecular Hydrogen Was Used

Diabetic rats were then randomized to a diabetes mellitus group and to a diabetic group that received hydrogen saline.

What the Researchers Found

Maximum intracavernous pressure in diabetic rats decreased significantly compared to controls and increased significantly compared to untreated diabetic rats after hydrogen-rich saline treatment.

Authors’ Conclusion

The authors concluded that hydrogen-rich saline effectively improved erectile function in a streptozotocin induced diabetic rat model of erectile dysfunction.
