Molecular hydrogen and reproduction
The paper analyzes the data available in the current literature on the role of molecular hydrogen in the combination therapy of subfertility and infertility. It gives data on the possible mechanisms of antioxidant action of molecular hydrogen, as well as those on the methods for its use, which are available in clinical practice. There are also results of individual studies demonstrating the efficacy of molecular hydrogen in the treatment of some forms of infertility. The results of ongoing investigations confirm that molecular hydrogen is one of the promising antioxidant drugs used in clinical practice. To create algorithms for the individual preparation of patients for pregnancy, it is necessary to conduct further studies of sufficient power.Syrkasheva A.G., Dolgushina N.V.
