Molecular hydrogen (H2) demonstrates selective antioxidant and anti-inflam-
matory properties with therapeutic potential across musculoskeletal conditions
including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, exercise-induced muscle damage,
chronic pain syndromes, tendinopathies, and muscle atrophy. This review
critically evaluates preclinical and clinical evidence for H2 therapy and identifies

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

Background/Aim: Most nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAHs) are caused by ruptured saccular aneurysms, often resulting in a devastating clinical event characterized by high mortality and significant morbidity among survivors. Numerous studies have confirmed the neuroprotective effects of the molecular hydrogen due to its unique biological properties.
Case Report: We present the case of a 44

Skeletal muscle atrophy is associated with poor quality of life and disability. Thus, finding a new strategy for the prevention and treatment of skeletal muscle atrophy is very crucial. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on muscle atrophy in a unilateral hind limb immobilization model. Thirty-six male Balb/C mice were divided into control (without

The traditional treatment of soft tissue injuries consists of the Background: RICE protocol – rest, ice, compression, and elevation, followed for up to 72 hours after a trauma. Although designed as an immediate therapy to reduce inflammation that occurs after an acute injury, the RICE protcol might not be the best way to promote healing due to limiting blood flow. Molecular hydrogen (H ) has recen

Molecular hydrogen (H ) has recently been recognized as a potential novel therapeutic agent in biomedicine. Initially proposed to be a possible treatment for certain types of neuromuscular disorders, cardio-metabolic diseases and cancer, H improved clinical end-points and surrogate markers in several clinical trials, mainly acting as an anti-inflammatory agent and powerful antioxidant. In this pap

Previous studies have demonstrated that hydrogen‑rich saline (HS) protects against bile duct ligation (BDL)‑induced liver injury by suppressing oxidative stress and inflammation. Mitochondria, which are targets of excessive reactive oxygen species and central mediators of apoptosis, have a pivotal role in hepatic injury during obstructive jaundice (OJ); however, the implications of HS in the hepat

Molecular hydrogen (H2) is effective for many diseases. However, molecular bases of H2 have not been fully elucidated. Cumulative evidence indicates that H2 acts as a gaseous signal modulator. We found that H2 suppresses activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling by promoting phosphorylation and degradation οf β-catenin.

Therapeutic effects of molecular hydrogen for a wide range of disease models and human diseases have been investigated since 2007. A total of 321 original articles have been published from 2007 to June 2015. Most studies have been conducted in Japan, China, and the USA. About three-quarters of the articles show the effects in mice and rats. The number of clinical trials is increasing every year. I
