Figures & data

Figure 1 Concentration of H2 in water at various time points after the preparation of high-H2 water.

Notes: Concentrations were measured immediately after the cap of the bottle was opened 10 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or 12 hours after the preparation. The error bars represent the mean and standard deviation of three independent measurements.

Table 1 Characteristics of the enrolled volunteers

Figure 2 Effects of high-H2 water on FMD of the brachial artery.

Notes: Results are presented as the relative ratio of changes in FMD (%) (FMD% 30 minutes after drinking the high-H2 water [closed bars] or placebo water [open bars] was divided by FMD% before drinking the water). The data from all volunteers are scattered within each group (closed circles, high-H2 group; open circles, placebo group). Mean value is presented as the horizontal bar. Error bars indicate standard deviation.
Abbreviation: FMD, flow-mediated dilation.
