Oxidative stress is responsible for the pathogenesis of many diseases, and antioxidants are commonly included in their treatment protocols. Over the past two decades, numerous biomedical reports have revealed the therapeutic benefits of molecular hydrogen (H2) in relieving oxidation-related diseases. H2 has been found to have selective antioxidant properties against the most dangerous oxidants (hy

The aim of the study was to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of hydrogen-rich water in pentylenetetrazol-induced epilepsy. A total of 30 female rats, 6 animals in each group, were used in the study. All groups except the control group were ovariec- tomized. Hydrogen-rich water Group (HRW) and Epilepsy + HRW Group (E + HRW) were administered intraperitoneally for 14 days. On the 14th day of the

Gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity primarily results from renal inflammatory cascades and increased oxidative stress. This study aims to examine the effects of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on gentamicin-induced renal damage in rats. Thirty-two rats were equally divided into four groups, including control (no treatment), hydrogen, gentamicin, and gentamicin+hydrogen. At the end of one week, all animals

Radiation dermatitis (RD) is a common side effect in patients receiving radiotherapy. Currently, clinical skincare approaches for acute RD vary widely among institutions and lack consensus. Hydrogen molecules, acting as radioprotective agents by selectively scavenging free radicals, have the potential to protect against RD. In this study, we demonstrate that hydrogen reduces double- strand breaks,

Background: Chronic liver diseases (CLD) frequently derive from hepatic steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis, and become a leading inducement of cirrhosis and hepatocarcinoma. Molecular hydrogen (H2) is an emerging wide-spectrum anti-inflammatory molecule which is able to improve hepatic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, and holds obvious advantages in biosafety over traditional anti-CLD dru

Infertility has got to be a broadly concerned social issue these days, in which the male factor cannot be overlooked. Numerous studies have shown that electromagnetic pulse (EMP) radiation may have seriously damaging effects on reproductive health, through nonthermal effects and oxidative stress.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been recognized as a serious public health issue and a key contributor to disability and death, with a huge economic burden worldwide. Hydrogen, which is a slight and specific cytotoxic oxygen radical scav‑enger, has been demonstrated to ameliorate early brain injury (EBI) through reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative stress injury, apoptosis and necroptosis.

Wound healing is a complex dynamic process involving a large number of biological events. Excessive oxidative stress is a key factor delaying wound healing. Hydrogen is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic medical gas with safety, effectiveness, and penetrability. However, the effects of local treatment of hydrogen on wound healing and its potential mechanisms remain unclear. In this

Physical exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage may be characterized by increased oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis which may be beneficial when exercise is regular, but it is rather harmful when exercise is exhaustive and performed acutely by unaccustomed individuals.
