About the Book:
This work offers a detailed introduction to the biology and medicine of hydrogen. As one of the most abundant elements in the universe with a simple structure, hydrogen has garnered significant interest in the biomedical field following the discovery by Japanese researchers in 2007 that its selective oxidation has therapeutic effects on various diseases and injuries. In recent years, numerous peer-reviewed articles have reported hydrogen's positive impact on conditions such as strokes, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and sepsis.
The authors provide readers with a thorough review, covering hydrogen's physical and chemical properties, its biological effects, and the current challenges and obstacles in the field.
