The weaker soft tissue integration around implants compared to natural teeth poses a substantial challenge to the long-term success of implants. To enhance soft tissue integration, we develop an on-demand and long-lasting H2-releasing implant to achieve precise sequential regulation of the soft tissue integration through immunomodulation and pro-remodeling coupling. In the inflammatory phase, the

Molecular hydrogen is gaining increasing attention as an antioxidant, anti-
inflammatory, and antiapoptotic agent. Once considered an inert gas, it reveals current
therapeutic potential among others in inflammatory diseases, cancer, and sports medicine,
among others. The present review aims to provide a consistent summary of the findings
of the last twenty years on the use of molecular hydrogen in

Background: Inhalation of hydrogen gas (H2) as an antioxidant supplement may alleviate exercise-induced oxidative damage and protect post-exercise hydrogen peroxide signaling, which may help mediate beneficial exercise adaptation. The aims of this study were to determine the effects of H2 inhalation on plasma nitric oxide (NO) level and its synthesis precursor in professional athletes.

Airway inflammatory diseases, such as asthma, are a global public health concern owing to their chronic inflammatory effects on the respiratory mucosa. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has recently been recognized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we examined the therapeutic potential of H2 in airway inflammation using an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced BALB/c mouse model of alle

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent upper airway collapse during sleep, leading to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) that can cause oxidative stress and chronic inflammation that lead to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment is the gold standard for OSA treatment, it has little or no benefit in reduc

Diabetes is coupled with hyperglycemia, a state in which elevated glucose levels trigger oxidative stress (OS) in various body functions. One of the organs most afflicted by diabetes is the kidney. Despite this, specific treatments to mitigate the harmful effects of hyperglycemia-induced OS in the kidney have not been extensively explored. This study evaluates the anti-hyperglycemic efficacy of magne

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. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has emerged as a potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic agent, but its act

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) could progress to hepatic fibrosis in the absence of effective control. The purpose of our experiment was to investigate the protective effect of drinking water with a high concentration of hydrogen, namely, hydrogen-rich water (HRW), on mice with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease to elucidate the mechanism underlying the therapeutic action of molecular hydrogen.

AIM To investigate the effects of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) treatment on prevention of ethanol (EtOH)-induced early fatty liver in mice.
METHODS In vitro reduction of hydrogen peroxide by HRW was determined with a chemiluminescence system. Female mice were randomly divided into five groups: control, EtOH, EtOH + silymarin, EtOH + HRW and EtOH + silymarin + HRW. Each group was fed a Lieber-DeCarli

Background: Early acute kidney injury (AKI) in severely burned patients predicts a high mortality that is multi-factorial. Hydrogen has been reported to alleviate organ injury via selective quenching of reactive oxygen species. This study investigated the potential protective effects of hydrogen against severe burn-induced early AKI in rats.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronically relapsing, pruritic, eczematous skin disorder accompanying al- lergic inflammation. AD is triggered by oxidative stress and immune imbalance. In the present study, we in- vestigated the effect of drinking hydrogen water (HW) on 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)-induced atopic dermatitis in NC/Nga mice and found that HW ameliorated DNCB-induced AD-like clinical

A new medical gas, molecular hydrogen (H2), has been reported to be effective for a variety of disorders and clinical trials have shown promising results. Though the precise mechanism is still unknown, it is obvious that H2 has multiple effects. The first prominent effect of H2 was as antioxidant or reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenger, though it blocks only hydroxyl radicals (•OH), which are t

This study aims to prove the positive effect of ARW in high-fat (HF) diet-induced obesity (DIO) in C57BL/6 mice model. Toward this, obesity was induced by feeding the C57BL/6 male mice with high-fat diet (w/w 45% fat) for 12 weeks. Thereafter, the animals were administered with either ARW or tap water. Next, t
