InhalationNo known toxicity for H2 [7].
Experiments on mice show that hydrogen gas alleviates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury and inflammatory response. This is most likely done through the TLR4-NF-κB pathway [7]. A study with rats suggests that H2 is a potential alternative therapy to prevent or minimize rhabdomyolysis induced acute kidney injury, possibly via hydrogen gas’ antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic and anti-necroptotic properties [8]. |
