In VitroHighlightedHydrogen-Rich Water (HRW) Reduces Fatty Acid-Induced Lipid Accumulation and Oxidative Stress Damage through Activating AMP-Activated Protein Kinase in HepG2 CellsMHID-2493537PMID: 390620202024BiomedicinesSing-Hua Tsou, Sheng-Chieh Lin, Wei-Jen Chen, Hui-Chih Hung, Chun-Cheng Liao, Edy Kornelius, et al.Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is characterized by exces- sive fat accumulation in the liver. Intracellular oxidative stress induced by lipid accumulation leads to various hepatocellular injuries including fibrosis. However, no effective method for mitigating MASLD without substantial side effects currently exists. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has garnered attention du
Animal StudyHighlightedHydrogen-Rich Saline Alleviates Kidney Fibrosis Following AKI and Retains Klotho ExpressionMHID-3260346PMID: 288484322017Frontiers in PharmacologyJing Chen, Han Zhang, Jiachang Hu, Yulu Gu, Ziyan Shen, Linghan Xu, et al.Purpose: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a prominent risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). To date, the related mechanism and effective therapy have not been rigorously explored. The present study aims to investigate the reno- protection of hydrogen-rich saline (HRS) against ischemia/reperfusion (IR)-induced AKI. Methods: Adult male C57 mice were randomly allocated into th
Animal StudyHighlightedProtective Effects of Hydrogen-Rich Saline Against Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Alveolar Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition and Pulmonary FibrosisMHID-4298510PMID: 285227972017Medical Science MonitorWen-Wen Dong, Yun-Qian Zhang, Xiao-Yan Zhu, Yan-Fei Mao, Xue-Jun Sun, Yu-Jian Liu, et al.Background: Fibrotic change is one of the important reasons for the poor prognosis of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The present study investigated the effects of hydrogen-rich saline, a selective hydroxyl radical scavenger, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Material/Methods: Male ICR mice were divided randomly into 5 groups: Control, LPS-treated p
