Protects Brain from Oxidative Stress

Hydrogen acts as a therapeutic antioxidant by selectively reducing cytotoxic oxygen radicals
Conclusion
  • This study explores the potential of hydrogen (H₂) as a therapeutic antioxidant using a rat model of cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury.
  •  Hydrogen selectively reduces hydroxyl radicals (•OH), which are particularly harmful to cells, while not reacting with other reactive oxygen species (ROS) that have physiological roles.
  • Inhalation of hydrogen significantly reduced brain damage (p<0.01), suggesting that hydrogen is effective in protecting cells and tissues.
