Hydrogen alleviated cognitive impairment and blood‒brain barrier damage in sepsis-associated encephalopathy by regulating ABC efflux transporters in a PPARα-dependent manner

How Hydrogen Gas May Help Protect the Brain from Sepsis Damage

A recent study found that hydrogen gas may help protect the brain from damage caused by sepsis. The gas alleviated cognitive impairment and blood-brain barrier damage in mice by regulating ABC efflux transporters. This could lead to new treatments for sepsis-associated encephalopathy, a condition that causes cognitive problems.
