Molecular hydrogen (H2) demonstrates selective antioxidant and anti-inflam-
matory properties with therapeutic potential across musculoskeletal conditions
including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, exercise-induced muscle damage,
chronic pain syndromes, tendinopathies, and muscle atrophy. This review
critically evaluates preclinical and clinical evidence for H2 therapy and identifies

Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) implant generally provides temporary fracture fixation and facilitates bone regeneration. However, the exact effects of generated Mg ions (Mg2+), hydrogen gas (H2), and hydroxide ions (OH-) by Mg degradation on enhancing fracture healing are not fully understood. Here we investigate the in vivo degradation of Mg intramedullary nail (Mg-IMN), revealing the generation of

Steroid-associated osteonecrosis (SAON) remains a challenging clinical condition as there are few effective preventive measures. This study investigates the effects of hydrogen (H2) administrated via saturated hydrogen-rich water (HRW) in mice received high dose of glucocorticoids (for inducing SAON model). Here we find that HRW treatment significantly reduces osteocyte apoptosis, improves deterio

In regenerative medicine, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown their importance and potential in tissue reconstruction and immune system modification. However, such cells’ potential is often diminished by factors such as oxidative stress, immune rejection, and inadequate engraftment. This review highlights the role of molecular hydrogen (H2) and cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) as adjunct therapi

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

One of the beneficial effects of molecular hydrogen (H2, hydrogen gas) is neuroprotection and pre- vention of neurological disorders. It is important and useful if taking H2 every day can prevent or ameliorate the progression of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease, both lacking specific therapeutic drugs. There are several mechanisms of how H2 protects n

Background: Molecular hydrogen exerts its effect on multiple pathologies, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. However, its molecular mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. In order to explore the effects of molecular hydrogen, we meta-analyzed gene expression profiles modulated by molecular hydrogen.
Methods: We performed microarray analysis of the mouse liver with or wit

Oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species is considered a major mediator of tissue and cell injuries in various neuronal conditions, including neurological emergencies and neurodegenerative diseases. Molecular hydrogen is well characterized as a scavenger of hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrite. Recently, the neuroprotective effects of treatment with molecular hydrogen have been reported i

More than 400 original articles have been published from 2007 onwards evaluating therapeutic potential of molecular hydrogen (H2), the youngest member of medical gases family with selective anti-oxidative properties. However, recent studies suggest that H2 may tackle other mitochondrial processes besides oxidative stress, including metabolic pathways that drive cellular energy.

Excessive production of oxygen free radicals has been regarded as a causative common denominator of many pathological processes in the animal kingdom. Hydroxyl and nitrosyl radicals represent the major cause of the destruction of biomolecules either by a direct reaction or by triggering a chain reaction of free radicals. Scavenging of free radicals may act preventively or therapeutically. A number

Molecular hydrogen (H2) is an agent with po- tential applications in oxidative stress-related and/or in- flammatory disorders. H2 is usually administered by inhaling H2-containing air (HCA) or by oral intake of H2- rich water (HRW). Despite mounting evidence, the mole- cular mechanism underlying the therapeutic effects and the optimal method of H2 administration remain unclear. Here, we investigate

Molecular hydrogen (H2) metabolism in bacteria and algae has been well studied from an industrial perspective because H2
is viewed as a potential future energy source. A number of clinical trials have recently reported that H2 is a therapeutic
antioxidant and signaling molecule. Although H2 metabolism in higher plants was reported in some early studies, its
biological effects remain unclear. In th

Electrochemically reduced water (ERW) contains a lot of hydrogen molecule (H2) and scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) to protect DNA from oxidative damage [1]. ERW also contains small amounts of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) and elongates the lifespan of C. elegans [2]. Pt NPs are newly recognized multi-functional ROS scavengers [3]. ERW exhibits anti-diabetes effects in vitro and in vivo [4-6][7].
