Oxidative stress is responsible for the pathogenesis of many diseases, and antioxidants are commonly included in their treatment protocols. Over the past two decades, numerous biomedical reports have revealed the therapeutic benefits of molecular hydrogen (H2) in relieving oxidation-related diseases. H2 has been found to have selective antioxidant properties against the most dangerous oxidants (hy

Studies on molecular hydrogen have evolved tremendously from its humble beginnings and have continued to change throughout the years. Hydrogen is extremely unique since it has the capability to act at the cellular level. Hydrogen is qualified to cross the blood brain barrier, to enter the mitochondria, and even has the ability to translocate to the nucleus under certain conditions. Once in these i

Background: Mitochondria are the major source of oxidative stress. Acute oxidative stress causes serious damage to tissues, and persistent oxidative stress is one of the causes of many common diseases, cancer and the aging process; however, there has been little success in developing an effective antioxidant with no side effect. We have reported that molecular hydrogen has potential as an effectiv

PURPOSE. Retinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by transient
elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) is known to induce
neuronal damage through the generation of reactive oxygen
species. Study results have indicated that molecular hydrogen
(H2) is an efficient antioxidant gas that selectively reduces the
hydroxyl radical (OH) and suppresses oxidative stress-induced
injury in several organs. This
