Protective effects of hydrogen-rich saline in preeclampsia rat model

In Animal studies, Other studies by CHESS

Hydrogen has been reported as a novel antioxidant to selectively reduce levels of toxic reactive-oxygen species (ROS). We investigated the effects of hydrogen-rich saline on the prevention of oxidative injuries in N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) induced rat model of preeclampsia (PE). Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 50) were randomized into five groups: non-pregnant; normal pregnancy; pregnancy + hydrogen saline, 5 ml/kg, …
