How Hydrogen-Rich Medium Protects Nerve Cells from High Blood Sugar Damage

High blood sugar levels can damage nerve cells, but a recent study suggests that hydrogen-rich medium may be able to protect them. The study found that hydrogen-rich medium reduced damage to Schwann cells, a type of nerve cell, when they were exposed to high glucose levels. This could lead to new treatments for diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide.
