Introduction: Hydrogen-rich water (HRW) has been reported to reduce oxidative stress, suppress exercise fatigue, and enhance recovery. However, the molecular mechanisms of its effects on exercise capacity, especially during the early stages of adaptation in physically inactive individuals, remain unclear.
Methods: Male 8-week-old C57BL/6 J mice were provided with purified water or HRW for 1, 2, 4,

Background: Falls among older adults are a leading cause of fractures, loss of independence, and need for long-term care. Community salons in Japan promote social participation and health activities among older adults. Hydrogen-rich water is widely used as a health product, but evidence in community settings remains limited.

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose induces severe liver injury, especially in diabetic patients. N -acetylcysteine (NAC) is commonly used as an approved an- tidote for APAP toxicity; however, its narrow therapeutic window limits its clinical utility. This study investigated the protective effects of molecular hydro- gen (H2 ) against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in diabetic mice. Diabetic db/db mice wer

Exercise-induced fatigue limits athletic performance. Molecular hydrogen is an effective treatment for relieving fatigue, but the exact mechanism is not clear. In our study, a mouse model of fatigue was established to explore the molecular mechanism by which hydrogen-rich water reduces exercise-induced fatigue. The results showed that hydrogen-rich water improved the motor function of fatigue mice

Heart failure (HF) is increasing in prevalence in many countries around the world. HF is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by the heart’s inability to pump blood effectively, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. After an initial cardiac event (e.g., myocardial infarction, valve dysfunction, hypertension, etc.), adaptive mechanisms are activated to preserve cardiac function. Su
