H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
This narrative review examined the available molecular-hydrogen literature. More recent studies have shown that molecular hydrogen as a kind of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis, gene expression and signal modulation molecule, can be used for the treatment of many diseases. 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. More recent studies have shown that molecular hydrogen as a kind of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis, gene expression and signal modulation molecule, can be used for the treatment of many diseases.
What the Researchers Studied
The authors reviewed the transfer of hydrogen from inert gas to therapeutic gas.
What Effects Did Molecular Hydrogen Have?
More recent studies have shown that molecular hydrogen as a kind of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis, gene expression and signal modulation molecule, can be used for the treatment of many diseases. The authors concluded that all of these studies state hydrogen, as a kind of selective antioxidant, a signal pathway and gene expression modulating molecular, has very broad application prospect, which overthrew the traditional view that hydrogen is a physiological inert gas.
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).
