Hydrogen gas inhalation alleviates oxidative stress in patients with post-cardiac arrest syndrome.

abstract：:Reactive oxygen species attack several living organs and induce cell death. Previously, we found axonal/dendrite degeneration before the induction of cell death in hydrogen peroxide-treated neuroblastoma: N1E-115 cells and primary neurons. This phenomenon may be connected with membrane oxidation, microtubule destabili...
