Figure 4From: Hydrogen improves neurological function through attenuation of blood–brain barrier disruption in spontaneously hypertensive stroke-prone ratsEffect of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on oxidative DNA damage in the whole body. Oxidative DNA damage was analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of the serum 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) level at 8 weeks after treatment. Serum 8-OHdG levels were significantly lower in the HRW group than in the control group. Data were analyzed by an unpaired t-test. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. n = 6 in each group. ***P < 0.001 vs. control group.Back to article page
