It is well known that most of the ionizing radiation-induced damage is caused by hydroxyl radicals (·OH) follows radiolysis of H2O. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has antioxidant activities by selectively reducing ·OH and peroxynitrite(ONOO-). We firstly hypothesized and demonstrated the ra-dioprotective effect of H2 in vitro and in vivo, which was also repeated on different experimental animal models by

Electrolyzed reduced water (ERW), functional water, has various beneficial effects via antioxidant mecha-
nism in vivo and in vitro. However there is no study about beneficial effects of ERW bathing. This study aimed to
determine the effect of ERW bathing on the UVB-induced skin injury in hairless mice. For this purpose, mice
were irradiated with UVB to cause skin injury, followed by individually ta

Hydrogen-rich electrolyzed warm water (HW) was prepared at 41ºC and exhibited dissolved hydrogen (DH) of 1.13 ppm and an oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of -741 mV in contrast to below 0.01 ppm and +184 mV for regular warm water (RW).
Fibroblasts OUMS-36 and keratinocytes HaCaT were used to examine effects of HW against UVA-ray irradiation. Type-I collagen was synthesized 1.85- to 2.03-fold m
