Hydrogen

• Clinical use and future prospects

In this presentation we will show how hydrogen can have a positive effect on:

Cancer Inflammation/pain killer Diabetes Atopic dermatitis

The Problem

Every single day we are exposed to the harmful effect of

• ur environment. Pollution, sun exposure and various

toxins from a broad range of sources damage our cells. Science is starting to understand the biology behind this

• damage. One of the main reasons is caused by the

molecules known as ‘free radicals’ or Reactive Oxidative Species (ROS). Typically, molecules have two electrons to keep them stable. The free radicals, however, only have

• ne electron due to the harmful environmental impact,

which makes them unstable and a contributing factor to the breakdown of our bodies. The unstable free radical are always seeking to become stabilised by pulling in an additional electron from healthy

• molecules. This process sets off a chain reaction and more

molecules become imbalanced and thus unhealthy. A damaging process known as oxidative stress. Persistent

• xidative stress is one of the major causes of most

lifestyle-related diseases, cancer and the ageing process.

Everyday we are exposed to cell-damaging free radicals

The Solution

Antioxidants are substances that protect your cells from oxidative stress and inflammation by removing the harmful free radicals. The amount of free radicals in the body must be in balance to maintain a good health. Certain vitamins are known as antioxidants and are believed to counteract oxidative stress by reducing the formation of free radicals. Nevertheless, vitamins and nutrients are linked to a limited therapeutic success. On the other hand, molecular hydrogen has potential as a novel antioxidant in preventative and therapeutic applications. Hydrogen readily gives up electrons to ROS, which stabilises them and stops them in their tracks. Hydrogen shows not only effects against oxidative stress, but also various anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects. Hydrogen holds advantages over other antioxidants because it is such a tiny molecule: it is able to penetrate cell membranes, and can easily enter deep into cell components, where other antioxidants are not able to reach. Also, hydrogen boosts the body’s defences by increasing production of natural antioxidants. No adverse effects of consuming hydrogen exist.

Molecular Hydrogen eliminates free radicals.

Physiological Activity Cytotoxic Action

ROS

Two types of ROS

Hydrogen as a selective antioxidant

Selective, clean, and safe. While taking high doses of supplemental antioxidants has negative health effects, it is impossible to take too much H2. Molecular Hydrogen ONLY scavenges and neutralises the harmful free radicals, leaving the beneficial ones alone. Many antioxidants leave behind toxic byproducts, but the only byproduct of H2 is water.

What is 8-OHdG?

Steady-state levels of DNA damages represent the balance between formation and repair. Average frequencies of steady state endogenous DNA damages in mammalian cells. The most frequent oxidative DNA damage normally present in DNA is 8-oxo-dG, occurring at an average frequency of 2,400 per cell. When 8-oxo-dG is induced by a DNA damaging agent it is rapidly repaired. Increased levels of 8-oxo-dG in a tissue can serve as a biomarker of oxidative stress. Oxidative DNA damage, such as 8-oxo-dG, likely contributes to carcinogenesis (cancer) The contribution happens via two different mechanisms. The first mechanism involves modulation of gene expression, whereas the second is through the induction of mutations.Thus 8-oxo-dG, if not repaired, can directly cause frequent mutations, some of which may contribute to cancer.

TARC (Thymus and activation-regulated chemokine) It is a type of chemokine with leukocyte chemotaxis, and when overproduced, it is believed that Th2 cells are attracted to the lesion locus, production of IgE antibody and activation of eosinophils occur, and an allergic inflammatory reaction is caused. Specificity is seen in atopic dermatitis, it increases markedly as severe, and it decreases with lightening.

What are AGEs?

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are proteins or lipids that become glycated as a result of exposure to

• sugars. They can be a factor in ageing and in the development or worsening of many degenerative diseases,

such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, and Alzheimer's disease
