The effect of molecular hydrogen during cryopreservation on the ultrastructures of bovine sperm cells has been studied. The study was performed on the sperm production of black-and-white Holstein bulls. The sperm was diluted with a sterile BioXcell medium (France). To study the effect of molecular hydrogen on the sperm cells of bulls, “BioXcell” diluted with hydrogen water was used. Native …
Korean red ginseng and hydrogen-rich water improve spermatogenesis
This study investigated the effect of hydrogen-rich Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) water (HRGW) mixture on the spermatogenesis and sperm motility of mice of different ages. Eighty young (3 month-old) and aged (12 month-old) male mice were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n =10 per group) including control group, hydrogen-rich water (HRW) group (10 mL/kg daily), KRG group (50 mg/kg daily) …
Hydrogen-rich saline protects spermatogenesis and hematopoiesis in irradiated mice
Recent studies show that molecular hydrogen (dihydrogen, H2) has potential as an effective and safe radioprotective agent through reducing oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate whether H2 is able to protect spermatogenesis and hematopoiesis from radiation-induced injuries. H2 was dissolved in physiological saline using an apparatus produced by our department. -60Co-gamma rays in the irradiation centre were …
