The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of molecular hydrogen (H2) have been explored for their possible health advantages. H2 is the smallest and most basic molecule, and it may easily pass through cell membranes to reach cellular compartments. Research on the health significance of H2 is still in its early stages, and although some studies have yielded encouraging results, further resea

Background: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) improves survival for patients experiencing refractory cardiac arrest but is often associated with severe ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Hydrogen gas (H2) has demonstrated promising preclinical efficacy in reducing IRI. The Hydrogen-FAST trial investigates the feasibility and safety of inhaled hydrogen gas as an adjunctive therapy

Cisplatin (CIS)-induced peripheral neuropathy and associated comorbidities have a detrimental effect on the lives of cancer patients. Currently, there are no effective therapies to alleviate these symptoms. Duloxetine (DULO) is a recommended treatment, but it is linked with important side effects, thus making it essential to explore novel approaches. We examined the impact of a prophylactic treatm

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition in which amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques trigger oxidative stress (OS) and neuroinflammation, causing memory loss. OS and neurodegeneration can also be caused by reactive astrocytes, thereby promoting AD via toxic metabolite accumulation in the astrocytic urea cycle. However, the effect of molecular hydrogen (H2) on this cycle remains unknown. Th

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. H2 has been found to have selective antioxidant properties against the most dangerous oxidants (hy

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
