Whether or not alkaline reduced water (ARW) has a positive effect on obesity is unclear. This study aims to prove the positive effect of ARW in high-fat (HF) diet-induced obesity (DIO) in C57BL/6 mice model. Toward this, obesity was induced by feeding the C57BL/6 male mice with high-fat diet (w/w 45% fat) for 12 weeks. Thereafter, the animals were administered with either ARW or tap water. Next, t

We have found that hydrogen (dihydrogen; H 2 ) has benefi cial lipid-lowering effects in high-fat diet-fed Syrian golden hamsters. The objective of this study was to characterize the effects of H 2 -rich water (0.9–1.0 l/day) on the content, composition, and biological activities of serum lipoproteins on 20 patients with potential metabolic syn- drome. Serum analysis showed that consumption of H 2

Recent studies suggest that hydrogen has great therapeutic and prophylactic potential against organ injury caused by oxidative stress and inflammation. Here we investigated the effect of hydrogen-rich saline on airway inflammation and remodeling in a murine model of asthma.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Asthma was induced by ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization and challenge. Then mice were treated with normal

Background: Recent studies show that molecular hydrogen (dihydrogen, H2) has potential as an effective and safe radioprotective agent through reducing oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate whether H2 is able to protect spermatogenesis and hematopoiesis from radiation-induced injuries.
Material/Methods: H2 was dissolved in physiological saline using an apparatus produced by ou

Background: Radiation often causes depletion of immunocytes in tissues and blood, which results in immuno suppression. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been shown in recent studies to have potential as a safe and effective radioprotective agent through scavenging free radicals. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that H2 could protect immunocytes from ionizing radiation (IR).

Recent evidence suggests that molecular hydrogen has therapeutic value for dis-

Metabolic acidosis is a clinical disturbance characterized by low pH in body tissues and blood and a variety of neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory responses.1 Besides treating the initial disorder, the main goal for patients with acidosis is to increase the systemic pH with alkalizing agents, such as bicarbonates2; however, adverse reactions linked to the administration of sodium bicarbonate (eg,

Acute lung injury (ALI) is still a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Recently, our and other studies have found that hydrogen gas (H2) treatment can ameliorate the lung injury induced by sepsis, ventilator, hyperoxia, and ischemia-reperfusion. However, the molecular mechanisms by which H2 ameliorates lung injury remain unclear. In the current study, we investigat

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].

Metabolic syndrome is characterized by cardiometabolic risk factors that include obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension and dyslipidemia. Oxidative stress is known to play a major role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of hydrogen rich water (1.5–2 L/day) in an open label, 8-week study on 20 subjects with potential metabolic

Purpose: Cisplatin is a widely used anti-cancer drug in the treatment of a wide range of tumors; however, its application is limited by nephrotoxicity, which is affected by oxidative stress. We have reported that molecular hydrogen (H(2)) acts as an efficient antioxidant (Ohsawa et al. in Nat Med 13:688-694, 2007). Here we show that hydrogen efficiently mitigates the side effects of cisplatin by r
