Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia, leading to severe systemic complications and reduced quality of life. Current therapies often fail to comprehensively alleviate diabetic complications, highlighting the need for novel approaches. Animal studies and clinical trials have demonstrated the therapeutic potential of molecular hy

The aim of the review was to examine the main characteristics of hydrogen ion metabolism and its hemostatic function in the human body. For diagnostic purposes, molecular hydrogen (H2) is considered a biological marker. The results of the analysis of therapeutic programs for the clinical use of hydrogen are presented. The use of H2 as a drug in the treatment of more than 170 diseases is also discu

Objective Our research was performed in order to explore the effects of molecular hydrogen (H2), a novely-established antioxidant, on the retinal degeneration in rd1 mice, an animal model of inherited retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
Methods The rd1 mice were divided randomly into control and H2 intervention groups. Mice from other groups received H2 intervention in three modes, two modes of the hydrog

Purpose: To examine the effects of hydrogen water on retinal blood flow (RBF) dysregulation in diabetes, we evaluated changes in RBF in response to flicker stimulation and systemic hyperoxia in diabetic mice.
Methods: Twelve type 2 diabetic mice were divided into a group that received non-hydrogen water (n = 6, control group) and the other that received hydrogen-rich water (0.6–0.8 mM) (n = 6, HR

Purposes: The primary aim of the study was to assess the response of intraocular pressure (IOP) to the acute ingestion of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) compared to hydrogen-free water (placebo) in healthy subjects. The effect of HRW intake on central corneal thickness (CCT) was also monitored.
Subjects and Methods: Twenty-four healthy volunteers (5 men, 19 women) aged between 20 and 33 were included i

The incidence of dry eye disease is increasing worldwide because of the aging population and increasing use of information technology. Dry eye disease manifests as tear-layer instability and inflammation caused by osmotic hypersensitization in tear fluids; however, to our knowledge, no agent that treats both pathologies simultaneously is available. Molecular hydrogen (H2) is known to be effective

The therapeutic effects of hydrogen-rich saline (HRS) have been reported for a wide range of diseases mainly via selectively reducing the amount of reactive oxygen species. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of uveitis and endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU). In this study, we investigated whether HRS can mitigate EIU in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into No

Therapeutic effects of molecular hydrogen for a wide range of disease models and human diseases have been investigated since 2007. A total of 321 original articles have been published from 2007 to June 2015. Most studies have been conducted in Japan, China, and the USA. About three-quarters of the articles show the effects in mice and rats. The number of clinical trials is increasing every year. I

Overactivation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1), as a result of sustained DNA oxidation in ischemia‑reperfusion injury, triggers programmed cell necrosis and apoptosis. The present study was conducted to demonstrate whether hydrogen‑rich saline (HRS) has a neuroprotective effect on retinal ischemia reperfusion (RIR) injury through inhibition of PARP‑1 activation. RIR was induced by trans

Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been reported to be effective for a variety of disorders and its effect has been
ascribed to a selective scavenge of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) at the beginning. Consumption of H2 was either by
inhalation, drinking H2-containing water (H2 water), or infusion of H2-containing saline. Among various disorders,
animal model of ischemic injury and Parkinson’s disease showed sig

AIM: To explore the potential mechanism of molecular hydrogen in the regulation of miRNA expression and signal-modulating activities.
METHODS: Retinal microglia cells were activated by Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and then treated with hydrogen -saturated medium or normal medium without hydrogen. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression difference in miR-9, miR-21 and miR-199 between these two grou

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
