Hydrogen's biological and therapeutic effects
Hydrogen's biological and therapeutic effects is a research topic within Surgery. Science Explorer counts 9.6k research works in it since 1950. 15.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the therapeutic applications of molecular hydrogen therapy, focusing on its potential as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. The research covers a wide range of medical conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and ischemia-reperfusion injuries. Molecular hydrogen is investigated for its ability to reduce oxidative stress, alleviate inflammation, and provide neuroprotection in various disease models.
