*Urea↓,
*RenoP↑,
*eff↑, higher concentrations of H2 gas (67%) produced more pronounced improvements in kidney histology and morphology compared with lower concentrations (4%)
Apoptosis↑, H2 gas increased apoptosis in A549 cells while reducing the expression of XIAP and BIRC3 proteins in studies on A549 cells and their nude mouse models.
XIAP↓,
IAP2/BIRC3↓,
TumVol↓, inhalation of 60% H2 gas significantly reduced tumor volume in experimental mice
MALAT1↓, In gastric cancer research, Zhu et al. [10] found that H2 gas downregulated the expression of lncRNA MALAT1 and EZH2 while upregulating miR‐124‐3p
EZH2↓,
miR-124-3p↓,
eff↑, combining platinum nanocolloid (Pt‐nc) with H2 gas effectively inhibited the growth of human promyelocytic leukemia HL60 cells
ChemoSen↑, combining H2 therapy with conventional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, demonstrating improved efficacy and reduced side effects
*compII↑, allergic airway inflammation, showing that H2 increased ATP production as well as the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I and III
*compIII↑,
*LDL↓, H2‐enriched water in humans, showing that supplementation with H2‐enriched water appeared to reduce serum low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) and apolipoprotein B (apoB) levels,
*Obesity↓, H2 may play a beneficial role in the prevention of potential metabolic syndrome
QoL↑, 82 patients with stage III and IV cancers receiving H2 inhalation therapy. They found that H2 inhalation improved the quality of life
PFS↑, Sixteen months of follow‐up found that progression‐free survival in the control group was lower than that in the H2 inhalation group alone, and significantly lower than that in the other three combination therapy groups.

7495- MEL,    Melatonin: a promising neuroprotective agent for cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury
- Review, Stroke, NA
*other↓, melatonin production declines significantly with age, which may contribute to the development of age-related neurological disorders due to reduced levels.
*neuroP↑, neuroprotective effects of melatonin in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
*Stroke↓, The neuroprotective benefits of melatonin in experimental stroke models are well documented. Several studies have demonstrated a reduction in infarct size and cerebral edema volume, along with improved neurological function
*Dose↝, healthy individuals was found to be 69. 70 pg/ml in the systemic circulation. However, patients with stroke had lower melatonin levels, with an average of 48. 1 ± 35. 9 pg/ml.
*Risk↓, The reduction in melatonin levels was found to be associated with the occurrence of stroke. 1 pg/mL decrease in melatonin levels and a greater than 2% increase in stroke risk
*cognitive↑, studies suggest that melatonin improves cognition and regulates neuroplasticity to mitigate neurodegenerative processes

6880- Phen,    Network Pharmacology of Natural Polyphenols for Stroke: A Bioinformatic Approach to Drug Design
- Study, Nor, NA
*neuroP↑, This study highlights the neuroprotective role of selected polyphenols through the PI3K/Akt pathway.
*other↝, Docking results also exhibited the strong to moderate affinity of the selected ligands (Apigenin, Ellagic acid, Ferulic acid, Kaempferol, Genistein, Luteolin, Naringenin, and Quercetin) towards the selected disease target.
*Stroke↓,
