| Research Abstract |
Persistent oxidative stress is one of the major causes of most lifestyle-related diseases, cancer and the aging process. We have proposed that molecular hydrogen (H2) has potential as a "novel" antioxidant in preventive and therapeutic applications [Ohsawa et al., Nat Med. 2007 : 13 ; 688-94]. H2 has a number of advantages as a potential antioxidant : H2 rapidly diffuses into tissues and cells, and it is mild enough neither to disturb metabolic redox reactions nor to affect reactive oxygen species (ROS) that function in cell signaling, thereby, there should be little adverse effects of consuming H2. There are several methods to ingest or consume H2, including drinking H2-dissolved water (hydrogen water). In this study, we have shown that model mice for dementia, diabetes, and arteriosclerosis were improved by drinking hydrogen
