Animal StudyHighlightedMolecular Hydrogen Improves Blueberry Main Fruit Traits via Metabolic ReprogrammingMHID-5192112PMID: 407333742025PlantsLongna Li, Jiaxin Gong, Ke Jiang, Liqin Huang, Lijun Gan, Yan Zeng, et al.Fruit yield and quality improvement are challenges for researchers and farmers. This study reveals that the main fruit traits of blueberry (Vaccinium ashei ‘Bluegem’) were significantly improved after hydrogen (H2)-based irrigation, assessed by the increased single fruit weight (14.59 ± 6.66%) and fruit equatorial diameter (4.19 ± 2.39%), decreased titratable acidity, increased solid–acid and suga
In VitroMolecular hydrogen protects against oxidative stress-induced SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell death through the process of mitohormesisMHID-7973359PMID: 284674972017PLOS ONEYayoi Murakami, Masafumi Ito, Ikuroh OhsawaInhalation of molecular hydrogen (H2) gas ameliorates oxidative stress-induced acute injuries in the brain. Consumption of water nearly saturated with H2 also prevents chronic neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson’s disease in animal and clinical studies. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the remarkable effect of a small amount of H2 remain unclear. Here, we investigated the ef
Animal StudyHighlightedHydrogen saline prevents selenite-induced cataract in ratsMHID-3846502PMID: 359044492013Molecular VisionChun-xiao Yang, Hong Yan, Tian-bing DingPurpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential antioxidative effect and mechanism for the protective effects of hydrogen saline on selenite-induced cataract in rats. Methods: Sprague-Dawley rat pups were divided into the following groups: control (Group A), selenite induced (Group B), and selenite plus hydrogen saline treated (Group C). Rat pups in Groups B and C received a singl
