Molecular Hydrogen

by Mag S. PEMF & Magnetic Field Therapy Expert

Recently, molecular hydrogen has been investigated in preclinical and clinical studies on various diseases associated with oxidative and inflammatory stress such as radiation-induced heart disease, ischemia-reperfusion injury, myocardial and brain infarction, eye health, cancer, diabetes, pneumonia and sepsis.

Molecular Hydrogen has comprehensive cardiac activities. H2 administration protects against cardiac remodeling and improves cardiac function induced by intermittent hypoxia, neurohumoral activation, hypertension and transplantation injury. (Source)

H2 has selective anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties. Exogenous damage due to such factors as radiation induced excess cellular ROS production. H2 penetrates bio-membranes and effectively reaches cell nuclei. H2 selectively scavenges ·OH and ONOO- and thus prevents DNA damage.

Additionally, oxidative stress induced by viral infections could exacerbate the DNA methylation defect which may result in further angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2, a functional receptor for the viral spike glycoprotein that allows the entry into cells) hypomethylation and enhanced viremia. H2, as an antioxidant, may downregulate ACE2 expression through epigenetic control of the ACE2 gene. (Source)
