MHID-43477742026World Journal of Orthopedics

Naveen Jeyaraman, Madhan Jeyaraman, Swaminathan Ramasubramanian, Shrideavi Murugan, Arulkumar Nallakumarasamy, Sathish Muthu

Molecular hydrogen (H2) demonstrates selective antioxidant and anti-inflam- matory properties with therapeutic potential across musculoskeletal conditions including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, exercise-induced muscle damage, chronic pain syndromes, tendinopathies, and muscle atrophy. This review critically evaluates preclinical and clinical evidence for H2 therapy and identifies research

Hydrogen-rich water improves endurance by reducing skeletal muscle oxidative stress and inflammatory responses

MHID-8967574PMID: 416411602026Frontiers in Nutrition

Eika Mizuno, Tatsuhiro Sato, Kosuke Okada, Ikuru Miura, Junichi Shoda, Makoto Saito, et al.

Introduction: Hydrogen-rich water (HRW) has been reported to reduce oxidative stress, suppress exercise fatigue, and enhance recovery. However, the molecular mechanisms of its effects on exercise capacity, especially during the early stages of adaptation in physically inactive individuals, remain unclear. Methods: Male 8-week-old C57BL/6 J mice were provided with purified water or HRW for 1, 2, 4,

Molecular Hydrogen in the Treatment of Respiratory Diseases

MHID-45792272025International Journal of Molecular Sciences

Dominika Zajac, Monika Jampolska, Piotr Wojciechowski

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

Therapeutic Potential of Hydrogen-Rich Water on Muscle Atrophy Caused by Immobilization in a Mouse Model

MHID-6941053PMID: 378959072023Pharmaceuticals

Skeletal muscle atrophy is associated with poor quality of life and disability. Thus, finding a new strategy for the prevention and treatment of skeletal muscle atrophy is very crucial. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on muscle atrophy in a unilateral hind limb immobilization model. Thirty-six male Balb/C mice were divided into control (without

Biological Effects of Hydrogen Water on Subjects with NAFLD: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial

MHID-6639794PMID: 362906572022Antioxidants

Branislav Kura, Mária Szántová, Tyler W. LeBaron, Viliam Mojto, Miroslav Barancik, Barbara Szeiffova Bacova, et al.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a liver pathology affecting around 25% of the population worldwide. Excess oxidative stress, inflammation and aberrant cellular signaling can lead to this hepatic dysfunction and eventual carcinoma. Molecular hydrogen has been recognized for its selective antioxidant properties and ability to attenuate inflammation and regulate cellular function. We admin

Hydrogen‑rich saline alleviates early brain injury through inhibition of necroptosis and neuroinflammation via the ROS/HO‑1 signaling pathway after traumatic brain injury

MHID-9667503PMID: 349703492022Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine

Yun Hu, Xiaoyan Feng, Junhui Chen, Yan Wu, Liuyan Shen

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. Ne

Molecular hydrogen downregulates acute exhaustive exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage

MHID-1210077PMID: 333568672021Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology

Jonatas E. Nogueira, Mateus R. Amorim, Ana P. Pinto, Alisson L. da Rocha, Adelino S. R. da Silva, Luiz G. S. Branco

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

Hydrogen-rich water protects against liver injury in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis through HO-1 enhancement via IL-10 and Sirt 1 signaling

MHID-2423362PMID: 334391022021American Journal of Physiology - Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology

Shao-Wei Li, Terumi Takahara, Weitao Que, Masayuki Fujino, Wen-Zhi Guo, Shin-ichi Hirano, et al.

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.

Saturated hydrogen saline ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury by reducing excessive autophagy (Review)

MHID-2497534PMID: 285968082017Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine

YIMING LIU, Jin Zhang

The pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) involves excessive pulmonary inflammation and oxidative stress. In turn, autophagy is associated with inflammatory diseases and organ dysfunction, and studies have demonstrated that LPS treatment may trigger autophagy. Thus, excessive autophagy may stimulate the strong inflammatory response observed in the development

Simultaneous oral and inhalational intake of molecular hydrogen additively suppresses signaling pathways in rodents

MHID-5889693PMID: 257075802015Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry

Sayaka Sobue, Kazuaki Yamai, Mikako Ito, Kinji Ohno, Masafumi Ito, Takashi Iwamoto, et al.

Molecular hydrogen (H2) is an agent with po- tential applications in oxidative stress-related and/or in- flammatory disorders. H2 is usually administered by inhaling H2-containing air (HCA) or by oral intake of H2- rich water (HRW). Despite mounting evidence, the mole- cular mechanism underlying the therapeutic effects and the optimal method of H2 administration remain unclear. Here, we investigate
