Sofian Abdul-Nasir, Cat Tuong Chau, Tien Thuy Nguyen, Johny Bajgai, Md. Habibur Rahman, Kwon Hwang-Un, et al.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition in which amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques trigger oxidative stress (OS) and neuroinflammation, causing memory loss. OS and neurodegeneration can also be caused by reactive astrocytes, thereby promoting AD via toxic metabolite accumulation in the astrocytic urea cycle. However, the effect of molecular hydrogen (H2) on this cycle remains unknown. Th
