| Research Abstract |
Oxidative stress is one of the causes of diabetes. While some ROS (reactive oxygen species) such as NO play physiological roles. Thus, cytotoxic radicals such as ?OH must be neutralized without compromising the essential biological activities of physiologically beneficial ROS. In this study we showed that consumption of molecular hydrogen markedly reduces hepatic oxidative stress levels and improves hyperglycemia and obesity in diabetes model mice.
