Animal StudyHighlightedHydrogen Attenuates Myocardial Injury in Rats by Regulating Oxidative Stress and NLRP3 Inflammasome Mediated PyroptosisMHID-1280112PMID: 344009012021International Journal of Medical SciencesHongxiao Yang, Shuang Liu, Huijun Du, Zi Hong, Yajing Lv, Chaoqun Nie, et al.Purpose: Hydrogen (H2) is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and apoptosis functions.This study aimed to estimate the effects of H2 on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in rats and its association with the inhibition of oxidative stress and cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. Methods: Sixty-four rats were randomly divided into three groups (Sham, AMI, and H2). The left anterior descending coronary artery
Animal StudyHighlightedInhalation of Hydrogen Attenuates Progression of Chronic Heart Failure via Suppression of Oxidative Stress and P53 Related to Apoptosis Pathway in RatsMHID-0582328PMID: 301085862018Frontiers in PhysiologyJing Chi, Zizhuo Li, Xiaojian HongBackground: Continuous damage from oxidative stress and apoptosis are the important mechanisms that facilitate chronic heart failure (CHF). Molecular hydrogen (H2) has potentiality in the aspects of anti-oxidation. The objectives of this study were to investigate the possible mechanism of H2 inhalation in delaying the progress of CHF. Methods and Results: A total of 60 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats wer
