Hydrogen as protective agent against radiation side effects
Molecular hydrogen (H2) has antioxidant activities by selectively reducing ·OH and peroxynitrite(ONOO-). The study first hypothesized and demonstrated the radioprotective effect of H2 in vitro and in vivo. It was also then used in clinic to improve the survival rate of patients treated with radiotherapy for liver tumor. (Navy General Hospital, Fucheng Road, Beijing, China, Sept 14th, 2013)

Hydrogen Gas effect improves immunity of cancer patients
It has been reported that PD-1-expressing CD8+ T cells in the peripheral blood of cancer patients are associated with poor cancer prognosis. Results of this study suggest that hydrogen gas improves the prognosis of cancer patients by reducing the proportion of terminal PD-1+ CD8+ T cells.

Hydrogen acts as a therapeutic antioxidant by reducing cytotoxic oxygen radicals
Persistent oxidative stress is accepted as one of the causes of many common diseases including cancer. This study show that hydrogen (H2) has potential as an antioxidant in preventive and therapeutic applications.
