D.h.c., Prof. Jan SLEZÁK, M.D., Ph.D., D.Sc., FIACS
Slovakia
All my scientific life has been devoted to heart physiology, specifically regarding ischemia, reperfusion, hypoxia, calcium paradox, etc. My recent focus has been treating and preventing radiation-induced heart disease, which is a good model for many heart pathologies normal heart disease. I learned about H2 as a potential radical scavenger that could more easily permeate the injured organs; although skeptical our lab began investigations and were amazed at the protective effects.
We did the experiments again and again to confirm the results, as they were difficult to believe. The benefits of hydrogen are more believable now that we know that hydrogen is not simply an antioxidant, but modulates signal transduction, expression of miRNAs, and protein interactions. We still do not know the exact mechanism of these effects, but the clinical applications of hydrogen as a medical gas strongly warrant our further attention.
