Hydrogen alleviates hyperoxic acute lung injury related endoplasmic reticulum stress in rats through upregulation of SIRT1

How Hydrogen Gas May Help Reduce Lung Damage from Oxygen Therapy

A 2017 study found that hydrogen gas can help reduce lung damage from oxygen therapy by increasing a protein called SIRT1. This protein helps reduce stress in the cells and alleviate hyperoxic acute lung injury. The study used rats and found that inhaling hydrogen gas helped reduce lung damage. This could be exciting news for people who need oxygen therapy for a long time.
