Advancements in pharmacological effects and administration routes of hydrogen gas:A comprehensive research overview
Hydrogen,the simplest element in the universe.Hydrogen gas is colorless,odorless,and tasteless.As a reducing agent composed of two atoms.It exhibits strong reducing power and possesses numerous pharmacological effects,including anti-oxidation,antifatigue,anti-radiation,anti-inflammation,hypoglycemic,and hypolipidemic effects.Various methods exist for supplying hydrogen,but inhaling the gas is dangerous,drinking hydrogen-rich water is ineffective,and injecting hydrogen-rich saline is inconvenient.The most viable approach for clinical use is oral medicine,which produces hydrogen in vivo.Hydrogen gas holds promising potential as a clinical medicine in the future.
