Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose induces severe liver injury, especially in diabetic patients. N -acetylcysteine (NAC) is commonly used as an approved an- tidote for APAP toxicity; however, its narrow therapeutic window limits its clinical utility. This study investigated the protective effects of molecular hydro- gen (H2 ) against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in diabetic mice. Diabetic db/db mice wer

Purpose Exercise induces transient physiological disruptions, including immune suppression and gastrointestinal (GI) disturbance. Molecular hydrogen (H₂), an endogenously produced gas with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, may play a protective role in this context. While the therapeutic potential of exogenous H₂ has been widely explored, little is known about endogenous hydrogen respo

Purpose/Objective(s): Radiation is a mainstay of therapy for head/neck cancer. However, patients invariably develop mucositis along the targeted subsite, which persists during and after treatment, leading to weight loss, hospital admissions and potentially treatment interruptions. Hydrogen-rich water (HRW) is an available supplement that is thought to scavenge free radicals and confer anti-inflamma

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.

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
