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

Whether or not alkaline reduced water (ARW) has a positive effect on obesity is unclear. 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

Electrolyzed reduced water (ERW), functional water, has various beneficial effects via antioxidant mecha-
nism in vivo and in vitro. However there is no study about beneficial effects of ERW bathing. This study aimed to
determine the effect of ERW bathing on the UVB-induced skin injury in hairless mice. For this purpose, mice
were irradiated with UVB to cause skin injury, followed by individually ta

Background: Cancer patients receiving radiotherapy often experience fatigue and impaired quality of life (QOL). Many side effects of radiotherapy are believed to be associated with increased oxidative stress and inflammation due to the generation of reactive oxygen species during radiotherapy. Hydrogen can be administered as a therapeutic medical gas, has antioxidant properties, and reduces inflam

Electrolyzed reduced water (ERW) is widely used for drinking by people in Asia. The purpose of this study was to examine the immunological effect of ERW on the immunity of animals by supplying ERW to C57BL/6 mice infected with Echinostoma hortense metacercariae. In the non-infected groups, interleukin (IL)-4 (p0.001), IL-5, IL-10, IL-1b, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a and immunoglobulin (Ig) A exp
