Hydrogen gas inhibits high mobility group box 1 release in septic mice by up-regulation of heme oxygenase-1

How Hydrogen Gas Fights Sepsis: A Breakthrough for Lung Health

A 2015 study found that hydrogen gas inhalation reduced lung injury and improved survival rates in mice with sepsis. Hydrogen gas works by boosting a protective protein called heme oxygenase-1, which reduces inflammation and oxidative stress. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments for sepsis and lung injury in humans.
