Clinical TrialHighlightedOpen-label trial and randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of hydrogen-enriched water for mitochondrial and inflammatory myopathiesMHID-2481572PMID: 221466742011Medical Gas ResearchMikako Ito, Tohru Ibi, Ko Sahashi, Masashi Ichihara, Masafumi Ito, Kinji OhnoBackground: Molecular hydrogen has prominent effects on more than 30 animal models especially of oxidative stress-mediated diseases and inflammatory diseases. In addition, hydrogen effects on humans have been reported in diabetes mellitus type 2, hemodialysis, metabolic syndrome, radiotherapy for liver cancer, and brain stem infarction. Hydrogen effects are ascribed to specific radical-scavenging
Clinical TrialHighlightedEffects of drinking hydrogen-rich water on the quality of life of patients treated with radiotherapy for liver tumorsMHID-4803545PMID: 221460042011Medical Gas ResearchKi-Mun Kang, Young-Nam Kang, Ihil-Bong Choi, Yeunhwa Gu, Tomohiro Kawamura, Yoshiya Toyoda, et al.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
