Hydrogen gas and its role in cell signaling

Wilson, Helen R.; Veal, David; Whiteman, Matthew; Hancock, John T.

Abstract

Hydrogen gas (H2) was once thought to be inert in biological systems but it has now become apparent that exposure of a wide range of organisms, including animals and plants, to H2 or hydrogen-rich water (HRW) has beneficial effects. It is involved in plant development, and alleviation of stress and illness, such as reperfusion injury. Here, an overview of how H2 interacts with organisms is given.
