Animal StudyIn VitroHighlightedHydrogen-rich water inhibits glucose and α,β -dicarbonyl compound-induced reactive oxygen species production in the SHR.Cg-Leprcp/NDmcr rat kidneyMHID-7164222PMID: 227767732012Medical Gas ResearchMasanori Katakura, Michio Hashimoto, Yoko Tanabe, Osamu ShidoBackground: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production induced by α,β-dicarbonyl compounds and advanced glycation end products causes renal dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Hydrogen-rich water (HRW) increases the H2 level in blood and tissues, thus reducing oxidative stress in animals as well as humans. In this study, we investigated the effects of HRW on glucose-
