Since hydrogen therapy has been found to be beneficial for the treatment of inflammation and oxidative stress in humans, it seems worthwhile to evaluate the effects of exogenously administered hydrogen as an element in the immediate treatment of sports-related soft tissue injuries. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of 2 weeks of hydrogen administration on biochemical markers of inflammation and functional recovery in professional male athletes after acute soft tissue injury.
While non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rapidly becoming the most common liver disease worldwide, its treatment remains elusive. Since metabolic impairment plays a major role in NAFLD pathogenesis, any pharmaceuticals, such as molecular hydrogen (H2), that advance lipid and glucose metabolism could be appropriate to tackle this complex condition.
Aplastic anemia (AA) is a bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by immune-mediated destruction of hematopoietic stem cells. Although clinical symptoms can be alleviated by bone marrow transplantation and/or immunosuppressive therapy, the frequent recurrence and especially the evolution of clonal hematological diseases remains clinically problematic
Molecular hydrogen (H2) has attracted increasing interest due to its implications in various diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the remarkable effect of small amounts of H2 remain elusive. No knowledge is available on the role of H2 in the etiology of pregnancy disorders or its direct effect on human immune cells. Since maternal immunity, especially T cells, plays a key role in maintaining pregnancy.
Lung cancer is a common and dangerous form of cancer that is difficult to treat because of its ability to spread and resistance to drugs. However, a recent medical study has revealed a potentially powerful new treatment approach using hydrogen gas (H2).
What exactly is hydrogen water and why should you consider incorporating it into your daily routine? In this post, we will dive into the surprising benefits of hydrogen water that you need to know.
Metabolic syndrome is characterized by a constellation of metabolic and anthropometric abnormalities, which include excess weight, hyperglycemia, hypertension, low concentration of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and hypertriglyceridemia. Metabolic disease remains a serious concerns in the United States and people with metabolic syndrome are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on oxidative stress, liver function and HBV DNA in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Sixty patients with CHB were randomly assigned to a routine treatment group or a hydrogen treatment group, in which patients received routine treatment alone or additional oral HRW (1200-1800 mL/day, twice daily) for 6 consecutive weeks.
Molecular hydrogen acts as a therapeutic antioxidant. Inhalation of hydrogen gas (1.4%) has been effective in ameliorating cerebral infarction in many animal experiments. Thus, a randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effects of H2 gas inhalation was desirable for real applications. This study evaluates hydrogen therapy in acute cerebral infarction.
The main cause of arteriosclerosis is atherosclerosis in the aorta. Atherosclerosis is recognized as a chronic inflammatory condition that begins with dysfunction or activation of the arterial endothelium. It has already been shown in previous studies that molecular hydrogen has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in a number of diseases. In this study, LDL (low-density lipoprotein) receptor-deficient mice fed a high-fat diet for 13 weeks were used as a model and the effects of continuous administration of molecular hydrogen were evaluated.
In this study, the researchers sought to show the effects of hydrogen on neurons in the spinal cord. Hydrogen selectively neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) and improves various injuries caused by ROS. Spinal cord injury is a serious injury to the central nervous system, and spinal cord injury is closely related to the excessive production of ROS. Hydrogen inhalation has been hypothesized to ameliorate spinal cord injury and the mechanism of action may be related to the protective effects of hydrogen against oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage.
In this study, the effects of hydrogen during exercise in middle-aged women were investigated. It was a 28-day cycle in which women (age approx. 53 years, BMI 28.8 ± 3.3 kg/VO2mmax 22.3 ± 3.7 ml/kg) were divided into two groups. The first group received 1 liter of water enriched with hydrogen at a hydrogen concentration of 9 ppm per day. The second group received a placebo, i.e. tap water.
