HypothesisThe Hypothesis of an Effective Safe and Novel Radioprotective Agent: Hydrogen-rich SolutionMHID-5798200PMID: 212751142010West Indian Medical JournalLiren Qian, Bailong Li, Jianming Cai, Fu GaoMost ionizing radiation-induced damage is caused by radical oxygen species (ROS). Some radioprotectors, such as amifostine, exert radioprotective effects by scavenging radical oxygen species. Recent studies show that hydrogen (H2) has antioxidant activities that protect the brain and intestine against ischaemia-reperfusion injury and stroke by selectively reducing hydroxyl and peroxynitrite radica
Animal StudyHighlightedHydrogen-Rich Saline Protects Myocardium Against Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in RatsMHID-7407969PMID: 195968252009Experimental Biology and MedicineQIANG SUN, ZHIMIN KANG, JIANMEI CAI, WENWU LIU, YUN LIU, John H Zhang, et al.Protective effect of hydrogen (H2) gas on cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury has been demonstrated previously. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that hydrogen-rich saline (saline saturated with molecular hydrogen), which is easy to use, induces cardioprotection against ischemia (30 min) and reperfusion (24 h) injury in rats. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent 30-min occlu
