Hydrogen improves hepatic function in cirrhosis

In Animal studies, Liver by CHESS

In cirrhosis, increased oxidative stress leads to systemic and splanchnic hyperdynamic circulation, splanchnic angiogenesis, portosystemic collateral formation, hepatic endothelial dysfunction, increased intrahepatic resistance and the subsequent portal hypertension. Like N-acetylcysteine, hydrogen-rich saline is a new documented antioxidant with the potential to treat the complications of liver diseases. In this study, hemodynamics, splanchnic angiogenesis and hepatic endothelial dysfunction were measured in …
