Mitochondria originated from aerobic bacteria in endosymbiosis. Through this symbiosis, eukaryotes acquired an efficient energy-producing system, but at the cost of exposure to oxidative stress from reactive oxygen species (ROS). Molecular hydrogen (H2) was recently identified as an antioxidant that selectively reduces ROS, such as hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrite, which are strong oxidants, and

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

In regenerative medicine, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown their importance and potential in tissue reconstruction and immune system modification. However, such cells’ potential is often diminished by factors such as oxidative stress, immune rejection, and inadequate engraftment.

Molecular hydrogen has gained attention for its potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and ergogenic effects. However, its impact on blood oxygen saturation and autonomic cardiac regulation under resting conditions remains unclear. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study investigated the effects of a 60-minute molecular hydrogen inhalation on oxygen saturation and hear

Molecular hydrogen shows antioxidant activity and distinct efficacy towards vascular diseases, but the understanding of this is not yet satisfactory at the atomic level. In this work, we study the binding properties of H2 to the heme group in relation with other diatomic molecules (DMs), including O2, NO and CO, and their displacement reactions, using first-principles calculations. We carry out molec

The present study investigated the 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) produced using the EVObooster device. The analyzed HRW has pH = 7.1 ± 0.11, oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) of (−450 ± 11) mV, and a dissolved hydrogen concentration of 1.2 ppm. The control sample was tap water filtered by patented technology. A 600 NMR spectrometer was used to measure N

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent upper airway collapse during sleep, leading to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) that can cause oxidative stress and chronic inflammation that lead to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment is the gold standard for OSA treatment, it has little or no benefit in reduc

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

Ultrafine bubbles (UFBs), which are bubbles with diameters of less than 1 µm, are widely recognized for their ability to exist stably in liquid as a result of the effects of Brownian motion. In this study, we focused on hydrogen, known for its antioxidant potential, and explored the function of H2-filled UFBs, which encapsulate hydrogen, to determine their potential use as oral carriers for the de
