Features:
Hydrogen Gas, Powerful Antioxidant

1.Antioxidant and Nrf2/ARE Pathway: activate Nrf2, which induces antioxidant enzymes.
2.NF-κB Pathway: reported to inhibit NF-κB activation, thereby reducing inflammatory cytokine production
3.Mitochondrial Apoptosis Pathway
4.MAPK (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases) Pathway
5.PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway
6.Inflammatory Cytokine Signaling: Reducing cytokines (such as IL-6, TNF-α)
7.p53 Pathway
8.Autophagy Pathways: might regulate autophagy, (dual roles in cancer)

Hydrogen gas can be generated in small amount by hydrogenase of certain members of the human gastrointestinal tract microbiota from unabsorbed carbohydrates in the intestine through degradation and metabolism, which then is partially diffused into blood flow and released and detected in exhaled breath, indicating its potential to serve as a biomarker.

Many studies have shown that H2 therapy can reduce oxidative stress. This, however, contradicts radiation therapy and chemotherapy, in which ROS are required to induce apoptosis and combat cancer. Yet many studies show chemoprotective and radioprotective and some even show chemosentizing
Nevertheless there are some papers claiming ROS ↑ for cancer cells

2521- H2,    Oxyhydrogen Gas: A Promising Therapeutic Approach for Lung, Breast and Colorectal Cancer
- Review, CRC, NA - Review, Lung, NA - Review, BC, NA
Inflam↑, Oxyhydrogen gas, a mixture of 66% molecular hydrogen (H2) and 33% molecular oxygen (O2) has shown exceptional promise as a novel therapeutic agent due to its ability to modulate oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis.
ROS↓, neutralises reactive oxygen and nitrogen species
ChemoSen↑, enhancing existing treatments and reducing harmful oxidative states in cancer cells. boosting the effectiveness of conventional therapies
p‑PI3K↓, inhibiting the PI3K/Akt phosphorylation cascade.
p‑Akt↓,
QoL↑, Similar results have been observed in breast cancer, where patients reported improved quality of life.
GutMicro↑, improves intestinal microflora dysbiosis.
chemoP↑, reduced oxidative stress and mitigated tissue damage, suggesting its potential as a cytoprotective agent in cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy or chemotherapy
radioP↑,
*NRF2↑, documented role in activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway.
*Catalase↑, consequently, hydrogen can enhance the expression of endogenous antioxidant enzymes, including catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), haem oxygenase (e.g., HO-1), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) [45]
*GPx↑,
*HO-1↑,
*SOD↑,
*TNF-α↓, reducing the expression of proinflammatory mediators such as chemokines (e.g., CXCL15), cytokines (e.g., TNF-α), interleukins (e.g., IL-4, IL-6)
*IL4↓,
*IL6↓,
ChemoSen↑, further research demonstrates that oxyhydrogen gas enhanced the sensitivity of lung cancer cells to chemotherapy drugs, suggesting its potential as an adjuvant therapy
Appetite↑, inhaled oxyhydrogen gas over a minimum of 3 months. The results indicated substantial improvements in appetite, cognition, fatigue, pain, and sleeplessness
cognitive↑,
Pain↓,
Sleep↑,
other?, It is recommended that hydrogen should not exceed 4.6% in air or 4.1% by volume in pure oxygen gas (explosion risk)

2520- H2,    The Impact of Molecular Hydrogen on Mitochondrial ROS and Apoptosis in Colorectal Cancer Cells
- in-vitro, CRC, NA
mt-ROS↓, hydrogen-rich medium, we found a significant mitochondrial ROS decrease (∼40%), especially in the aldolase B over-expressed CRC
ChemoSen↑, hydrogen can synergize the apoptotic response of chemotherapy (∼20% improvement).
other↝, However, the decreasing mtROS signal and increasing apoptosis seems to be controversial with our current understanding, and further study in more detail is required to explore the underlying mechanisms of mitochondrial function and related signaling
