Cisplatin (CIS)-induced peripheral neuropathy and associated comorbidities have a detrimental effect on the lives of cancer patients. Currently, there are no effective therapies to alleviate these symptoms. Duloxetine (DULO) is a recommended treatment, but it is linked with important side effects, thus making it essential to explore novel approaches. We examined the impact of a prophylactic treatm

Background Nephrotoxicity is a common adverse effect of many chemotherapeutic agents and represents a major dose- limiting factor in cancer treatment. Therefore, developing effective renoprotective strategies is urgently needed. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has emerged as a therapeutic agent with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, selectively scavenging hydroxyl radicals and alleviati

Background: Hydrogen gas (H2) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of various clinical conditions, from acute illnesses to chronic illnesses. However, its clinical indications and the corresponding appropriate hydrogen delivery methods have yet to be determined. This is due to the fact that the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of hydrogen in each delivery method have not been exper

Initially, molecular hydrogen was considered a physiologically inert and non-functional gas. However, experimental and clinical studies have shown that molecular hydrogen has anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and strong selective antioxidant effects. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of 60 minutes of molecular hydrogen inhalation on respiratory gas analysis parameters using a randomized, d

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition in which amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques trigger oxidative stress (OS) and neuroinflammation, causing memory loss. OS and neurodegeneration can also be caused by reactive astrocytes, thereby promoting AD via toxic metabolite accumulation in the astrocytic urea cycle. However, the effect of molecular hydrogen (H2) on this cycle remains unknown. Th

(1) Background: Water, comprising about 70–80% of cellular mass, is the most abundant constituent of living cells. Upon exposure to ionizing radiation, water undergoes radiolysis, generating a variety of reactive species, including free radicals and molecular products. Among these, hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are particularly damaging due to their very high reactivity and their capacity to induce oxid

The mechanisms underlying the biomedical effects of molecular hydrogen (H2) remain poorly understood and
are often attributed to its selective reduction of hydroxyl radicals, based on the long-held notion that H2 is
biologically inert. We demonstrate that H2 is biologically active, specifically targeting the Rieske iron-sulfur
protein (RISP). We first observed that H2 induces the mitochondrial unf
