Center for Advanced and Integrated Renal Science (CAIRS), Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine has elucidated that intake of water with high levels of dissolved hydrogen produced by electrolysis reduces the progression of cardiac and renal inflammation and oxidative stress in laboratory rats suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), comparing to normal filtered water. The achievement was produced in collaboration with Nihon Trim Co., Ltd. The research result is expected to be a new preventive measure against CKD, and published online in Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation. The paper’s title is “Intake of water with high levels of dissolved hydrogen produced by electrolysis suppresses ischemia-induced cardio-renal injury in Dahl salt sensitive rats.”
