氢气治疗疾病生物学效应的研究进展

Biological effects of hydrogen in treating diseases: A review

摘要:

氢气是一种无味、无色且具有还原性的气体。以前人们认为氢气属于生理性惰性气体，因此其 在生物体内的作用一直没有受到重视。近年来，越来越多的研究发现氢气在心、脑、肺等多种疾病的治疗中 发挥潜在保护作用。多项研究证实，氢气主要通过抗氧化、抗炎、抗凋亡、调节自噬等生物学效应发挥疾病 的保护作用。该文就氢气治疗疾病生物学效应的研究进展进行综述。

Abstract:

Hydrogen is a colorless and tasteless reducing gas generally considered physiologically inert, and its function on organisms has remained largely overlooked. Nevertheless, a growing number of studies in recent years have reported therapeutic effects of hydrogen in treating the diseases of heart, brain, lung, and other organs. Some studies demonstrated that the therapeutic functions of hydrogen mainly resulted from its antioxidant, antiinflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and autophagy-regulatory effects. This article reviews the latest research progress of the biological effects of hydrogen in treating diseases.
