MOLECULAR HYDROGEN – A NOVEL MITOCHONDRIAL NUTRIENT Center for Mitochondrial Biology and Medicine, The Key Laboratory of Biomedical Information Engineering of Ministry of Education, School of Life Science, Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an 710049, China *Correspondence: jglong@mail.xjtu.edu.cn (J. Long) The antioxidant effects of molecular hydrogen has attracted attention from biomedical field in recent years. As a small antioxidant molecule. hydrogen is identified as a selective scavenger of hydroxyl radical and peroxynitrite. Mitochondria are the main sources of free radical and associate with the progress of many diseases. Therefore, the mechanism of molecular hydrogen in vivo may have close relation with mitochondria. Here we address the research progress of hydrogen antioxidation effect and its mitochondna related mechanisms in recent years. Key words: Hydrogen molecules; Oxidative damage; Free radical; Mitochondria The study was supported by the “National Nature Science Foundation of China” (No. 8174110 and 31870848); the “Key Project of Science Foundation of Shaanxi Province” (No. 2018JZ3005).
