The intricate relationship between the gut microbiota, its metabolites, and human health has garnered significant attention in recent years because of its potential role in the development of many diseases [1]. Among the various metabolites produced by the microbiota, a group of organic acids, known as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), has emerged as key regulators of host energy metabolism. These

Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been recognized as a novel medical gas with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a liver pathology with increased fat accumulation in liver tissue caused by factors other than alcohol consumption.

Alpha Hope is a dietary supplement containing pyrroloquinoline quinone and elemental magnesium, which produces molecular hydrogen (H2 gas) when dissolved in water. We determined the impact of Alpha Hope on Nrf-2, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator (PGC-1α), and citrate synthase (CS) activity in C2C12 myoblasts. Alpha Hope was titrated to three concentrations of pyrroloqui
