Benefits of hydrogen to human body
1. Selective antioxidant:
Oxygen is an irreplaceable substance in energy metabolism, and harmful free radicals are also produced during the metabolism process.
There are five classic types of reactive oxygen species in living organisms, namely superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, hydroxyl radical and nitrite anion.
Reactive oxygen species are energy metabolism by-products of organisms through the oxidative phosphorylation process. The normal body has its own system to fight and neutralize free radicals;
Once oxidative damage and disease occur, it will inevitably be accompanied by the disorder of cellular metabolic balance and the generation of excessive reactive oxygen species. Oxidative damage is the inevitable beginning of almost all diseases.
2. Anti-inflammatory:
Inflammation is a common pathological process in many diseases. The mechanisms by which inflammation causes damage to the body include promoting excessive activation of the immune system and the release of inflammatory factors.
Multiple studies in recent years have found that hydrogen molecules, as a non-toxic and efficient antioxidant, can also reduce the production of inflammatory factors and increase the release of anti-inflammatory factors. Therefore, hydrogen can be used to treat a variety of inflammation-related diseases, such as sepsis. Kidney damage, lung damage, etc. caused by bloodemia, ischemia-reperfusion, etc.
And in an article that Shuili Hydrogen shared with you before, the effect of hydrogen on rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, pancreatitis, etc. was mentioned:
In addition to the selective antioxidant effect of hydrogen in reducing inflammation, research suggests that it may also play a role in regulating cell signaling and gene expression.
3. Anti-apoptosis:
Apoptosis refers to the autonomous and orderly death of cells controlled by genes in order to maintain internal environment stability.
Apoptosis is different from cell necrosis. Apoptosis is not a passive process, but an active process. It involves the activation, expression and regulation of a series of genes. It is not a type of autologous damage under pathological conditions. Phenomenon, but a process of death actively striving to better adapt to the living environment.
Hydrogen molecules can enter cells through the cell membrane, protect DNA and proteins from being damaged by free radicals, maintain normal mitochondrial function, and prevent cell apoptosis.
Studies have found that hydrogen can promote axon regeneration and neurological function recovery through anti-apoptotic effects, and improve the motor function of rats with spinal cord injury.
Hydrogen can also resist renal tubular cell apoptosis and protect renal function in vivo and in vitro;
Using hydrogen-rich cell culture medium to culture Schwann cells can effectively reduce high-glucose-induced oxidative stress damage and cell apoptosis.
