Quick summary

Study at a glance

Evidence type

Preclinical

Population or model

mice, cell, cells, mouse used to study kidney and urinary health.

Intervention and dose

Full text reports inhaled H₂-containing gas plus H₂ dissolved in another reported solution. Detected intervention quantities or schedules: 0.6 mmol/L, 10 mL/kg, 24 hours, 15 days, 1 mL. · H₂-related quantities reported in the intervention passages: 0.6 mmol/L, 10 mL/kg, 24 hours, 15 days, 1 mL. Values are not combined across different experimental arms.

Duration

24 hours

Reported result

Article-reported result excerpt (24 words maximum): “Moreover, fluorescent staining with ghostpen cyclopeptide revealed that the hydrogen-rich medium increased the capture ability of macrophages by enhancing the extensibility of their pseudopods…” This excerpt is not a complete result summary; consult the linked full text for all positive and null findings.

Main limitation

Preclinical evidence only; findings do not establish a treatment effect in people. No funding statement was identified in the machine-readable full article; absence is not inferred. The article declares no conflicts of interest.

Reported in the source

Methods

Population or model

mice, cell, cells, mouse used to study kidney and urinary health.

Sample

Preclinical study; the full text reports 6 mice, with group/assay counts including n=3, n=6, n=12, n=4, n=8.

Duration

24 hours

Intervention

Full text reports inhaled H₂-containing gas plus H₂ dissolved in another reported solution. Detected intervention quantities or schedules: 0.6 mmol/L, 10 mL/kg, 24 hours, 15 days, 1 mL.

Hydrogen form

Inhaled molecular H₂; not classified as Brown’s gas without an H₂/O₂ composition.

Dose or H₂ specification

H₂-related quantities reported in the intervention passages: 0.6 mmol/L, 10 mL/kg, 24 hours, 15 days, 1 mL. Values are not combined across different experimental arms.

H₂ flow

Not reported in the full article — an absolute H₂ flow in mL/min could not be verified.

O₂ delivered with H₂

O₂ concentration and absolute O₂ flow were not both reported in the full article; no value is inferred.

Comparator

Control or comparison condition reported in the full article; see the linked methods for arm-specific details.

Reported, not endorsed

Outcomes and reported result

Outcomes measured

survival or mortality, clinical symptoms or functional scores, tumor growth or cancer markers, inflammation and cytokines, oxidative-stress and antioxidant markers, apoptosis or cell injury

Reported result

Article-reported result excerpt (24 words maximum): “Moreover, fluorescent staining with ghostpen cyclopeptide revealed that the hydrogen-rich medium increased the capture ability of macrophages by enhancing the extensibility of their pseudopods…” This excerpt is not a complete result summary; consult the linked full text for all positive and null findings.

Extraction completeness

The complete machine-readable article was checked for source identity, methods, intervention quantities, results, tables, funding and conflict declarations. This public record is based on the full article.

A reported association, difference or mechanism is not automatically a clinical benefit.

Limitations and applicability

Main methodological cautions

Preclinical evidence only; findings do not establish a treatment effect in people. No funding statement was identified in the machine-readable full article; absence is not inferred. The article declares no conflicts of interest.
