Hydrogen-containing water is an efficient method to reduce DNA damage and fatigue caused by physical stress and extreme training
We have proposed that molecular hydrogen (H2) has potential as a “novel” antioxidant in preventive and therapeutic applications
Finally, the author summarizes the reports showing the effects of H2 by the classification of target organs
- Hydrogen-rich pure water prevents superoxide formation in brain slices of vitamin C-depleted SMP30/GNL knockout mice.
- Supplementation of hydrogen-rich water improves lipid and glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance.
- Molecular hydrogen alleviates nephrotoxicity induced by an anti-cancer drug cisplatin without compromising anti-tumor activity in mice.
- Hydrogen therapy may be an effective and specific novel treatment for acute radiation syndrome.
- Molecular hydrogen suppresses FcepsilonRI-mediated signal transduction and prevents degranulation of mast cells.
- Inhalation of hydrogen gas reduces infarct size in the rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
- Consumption of hydrogen water prevents atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E knockout mice.
- Pilot study of H₂therapy in Parkinson’s disease: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial.
- Hydrogen in drinking water reduces dopaminergic neuronal loss in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine mouse model of Parkinson’s disease.
- Effectiveness of hydrogen rich water on antioxidant status of subjects with potential metabolic syndrome-an open label pilot study.
