| Research Abstract |
The effects of molecular hydrogen have been reported in various diseases. A selective scavenging of hydroxyl radicals was proposed as an underlying mechanism of the hydrogen effects and indeed a reduction of the oxidative damage by hydrogen has been observed. In cell culture models of inflammation and fatty liver as well as type I allergy, we have demonstrated that hydrogen does not affect the oxidative signal that is physiologically important but inhibits the intracellular signal transduction, thereby exerting beneficial effects. Based on these findings, we have established the modulation of signal transduction as a novel mechanism of the effects of hydrogen.
