The production of biofuels by bacterial fermentation receives sustained attention due to the need to develop novel circular and sustainable technologies. Clostridium beijerinckii produces both hydrogen (H2) and carbon-based biofuels acetone, butanol and ethanol (ABE solvents). H2 metabolism in C. beijerinckii is complex and mostly unexplored. Seven hydrogenase genes are contained in the genome, bu

Oxidative stress is a key factor in the development of chronic heart failure (CHF). Molecular hydrogen (H2) exhibits antioxidant properties, yet the mechanisms by which it alleviates hemodynamic disturbances and ischemic myocardial injury in CHF are not fully under- stood. This study examined the effects of a single (40-min) and multiple (40-min daily for 5 days) inhalations of H2 in a rat model o

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

Fruit yield and quality improvement are challenges for researchers and farmers. This study reveals that the main fruit traits of blueberry (Vaccinium ashei ‘Bluegem’) were significantly improved after hydrogen (H2)-based irrigation, assessed by the increased single fruit weight (14.59 ± 6.66%) and fruit equatorial diameter (4.19 ± 2.39%), decreased titratable acidity, increased solid–acid and suga

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

Context: Metabolic disorders are a growing global concern, especially in developed countries, due to their increasing prevalence. Serum lipid profiles, including triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), are commonly used clinical biomarkers for monitoring the progression of these metabolic abnormalities.
