Consider the protective role of hydrogen molecule (H2) in different diseases, including neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, and the antidepressant activity in chronically stressed animals. This study investigated the effects of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on chronic sciatic nerve compression (CCI)-induced neuropathic pain and accompanying affective disturbances in male mice. We also investigated possible pathways for the analgesic activity of hydrogen-rich water and the interaction between heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and H2 in neuropathic pain.
the result shows:
(i) Repeated use of hydrogen-rich water has an inhibitory effect on hyperalgesia and hyperalgesia caused by chronic sciatic nerve compression;
(ii) Anxiolytic and antidepressant effects of hydrogen-rich water in animals with neuropathic pain;
(iii) The contribution of antioxidant enzymes (HO-1 and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1) and ATP-sensitive potassium channels in the analgesic effect of hydrogen-rich water in neuropathic pain;
(iv) a positive interaction of HO-1 and the hydrogen system in inhibiting chronic sciatic nerve compression-induced neuropathy;
(v) Antioxidative, anti-nociceptive, anti-inflammatory and/or anti-apoptotic characteristics of hydrogen water treatment in the dorsal root ganglia and/or amygdala of mice with sciatic nerve injury.
This study demonstrates a novel protective effect of hydrogen gas and suggests that hydrogen water may be an interesting therapeutic strategy for chronic neuropathic pain and its associated mood disorders.
