Liver Protection by Preventing Lipid Oxidation

Lipid metabolism is the break down or storage of fats for energy; these fats are obtained from consuming food and absorbing them or they are synthesized by the liver. By eliminating the hydroxyl radical(OH) and peroxonitrite (ONOO–) ions, molecular hydrogen effectively reduces the effect of oxidative lipid and DNA degradation. Hydrogen water also improves cellular antioxidant capacity, and then protects cells against oxidant damage.

3 Main Properties that explain hydrogen's therapeutic effects

1) Molecular hydrogen can easily diffuse into the subcellular compartments and scavenge cytotoxic oxygen radicals, thus protecting the DNA, RNA and proteins from oxidative stress.

3 Main Properties that explain hydrogen's therapeutic effects

2) Molecular hydrogen also triggers the activation or upregulation of additional antioxidant enzymes (e.g. glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, etc.) and/or cytoprotective proteins of the body.

3 Main Properties that explain hydrogen's therapeutic effects

3) Molecular hydrogen may be a novel-signaling molecule that can alter cell signaling, cell metabolism and gene expression. This gives the anti-inflammatory effects, anti-allergic effects, and anti-apoptotic (or anti-cell death) effects.
