ONOOH does not react with H2: Potential beneficial effects of H2 as an antioxidant by selective ...

Year Published: 2014

H2 has been suggested to act as an antioxidant when administered just before the reperfusion phase of induced oxidative stress. These effects have been reported, for example, for the heart, brain, and liver. It is hypothesized that this beneficial effect may be due to selective scavenging of HO⋅ and ONOOH by H2. The reaction of H2 with HO⋅ has been studied by pulse radiolysis in the past and ...

Electrolyzed-reduced water scavenges active oxygen species and protects DNA from oxidative damage

Year Published: 1997

Active oxygen species or free radicals are considered to cause extensive oxidative damage to biological macromolecules, which brings about a variety of diseases as well as aging. The ideal scavenger for active oxygen should be 'active hydrogen'. 'Active hydrogen' can be produced in reduced water near the cathode during electrolysis of water. Reduced water exhibits high pH, low dissolved oxygen ...

In vitro biocompatibility study approaches to evaluate the safety profile of electrolyzed water for ...

Year Published: 2019

Electrolyzed water (EW) is a widely used disinfectant agent with high oxidation–reduction potential (ORP). Although EW has been used in many areas, such as food hygiene, agriculture, and animal husbandry, the studies presented in the literature are not enough to clarify the toxic effects of EW. The aim of this study is, therefore, to produce EWs at different pH, ORP, and chlorine concentrations ...

NIR-Driven Water Splitting H2 Production Nanoplatform for H2-Mediated Cascade-Amplifying Synergetic ...

Year Published: 2020

As a newly emerging treatment strategy for many diseases, hydrogen therapy has attracted a lot of attention because of its excellent biosafety. However, high diffusivity and low solubility make it difficult to accumulate in the local lesions. Herein, we develop H2 self-generation nano-platform by in situ water splitting driven by near infrared (NIR) laser. In this work, core-shell nanoparticles ...

Hydrogen-rich saline regulates the polarization and apoptosis of alveolar macrophages and attenuates ...

Year Published: 2021

Background: Hydrogen-rich saline (HRS) has a protective effect on sepsis-induced lung injury. However, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Polarization and apoptosis of macrophages are essential factors in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI). Moreover, autophagy is involved in the regulation of both macrophage polarization and apoptosis. Therefore, this study investigated the ...

Hydrogen regulates the M1/M2 polarization of alveolar macrophages in a rat model of chronic ...

Year Published: 2021

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease with high morbidity and mortality worldwide, so far there is no ideal treatment method. Previous studies have shown that hydrogen (H2) is involved in the treatment of COPD as an antioxidant. In this study, the effect of H2 on M1/M2 polarization of alveolar macrophages in COPD rats was observed, and its anti-inflammatory ...

Molecular hydrogen is comparable to sulfasalazine as a treatment for DSS-induced colitis in mice

Year Published: 2021

Colitis is an inflammatory condition of the bowels associated with abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and fever. Its etiology is multifactorial but related to the overproduction of inflammatory and oxidative mediators. There is currently no cure for this disease, and drugs used to manage it often have deleterious side effects. H2 is recognized as having anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, ...

Packaging with hydrogen gas modified atmosphere can extend chicken egg storage

Year Published: 2021

Background: Although hydrogen gas (H2 ) has been widely used in industry and gradually used in medicine, it is less applied to agriculture, especially in modified atmosphere packing (MAP). Results: During chicken egg storage, H2 MAP not only slowed down or delayed the reduction in antioxidant capacities, but also alleviated the deterioration of egg quality. The extent of micro-cracks in the ...

Year Published: 2021

By delivering the idea of green and safe hydrogen energy and novel photothermal therapy to the biomedical field, engineering of therapeutic nanomaterials for treatment of major diseases (such as cancer) holds great significance. In this work, a novel PdMo bimetallene was synthesized by a solvothermal reduction method, and it was explored and applied in the field of anti-tumor therapy for the first ...

Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of hydrogen inhalation for Parkinson’s ...

Year Published: 2021

Background: Oxidative stress is involved in the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent studies have confirmed that molecular hydrogen (H2) functions as a highly effective antioxidant in animal models of PD. A placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group clinical pilot study was conducted to assess the efficacy of hydrogen gas inhalation in Japanese patients with PD on ...

Hydrogen-Rich Medium Regulates Cr(VI)-Induced ER Stress and Autophagy Signaling in DF-1 Cells

Year Published: 2021

Related studies have shown that chromium (Cr) is toxic to cells, and hydrogen can protect cells by regulating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy. However, there are few reports on the protective effects of hydrogen on heavy metal-induced cell damage. The objective of this study was to investigate the protection of hydrogen-rich medium (HRM) on Cr(VI)-induced ER stress and autophagy in ...

Hydrogen-rich water reduced oxidative stress and renal fibrosis in rats with unilateral ureteral ...

Year Published: 2021

Background: Congenital obstructive nephropathy (CKD) is commonly implicated in the pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease occurring in the pediatric and adolescent age groups and the release of reactive oxygen species contribute to the worsening of renal fibrosis. Molecular hydrogen (H2) protects against tissue injury by reducing oxidative stress. We evaluated the efficacy of oral H2-rich water ...

Year Published: 2022

Hydrogen exhibits the potential to treat Alzheimer's disease. Stereotactic injection has been previously used as an invasive method of administering active hydrogen, but this method has limitations in clinical practice. In this study, triple transgenic (3×Tg) Alzheimer's disease mice were treated with hydrogen-rich water for 7 months. The results showed that hydrogen-rich water prevented synaptic ...
