Dose-dependent inhibition of gastric injury by hydrogen in alkaline electrolyzed drinking water

Table 2 Correlation between inhibition effects and hydrogen concentrations in pH 8.5 electrolyzed water

Group	Erosion ^†	MPO ^†	MDA ^†	8-OHdG ^‡
C: H₂(6.8 μg/d/kg)	2.1%	1.6%	32.6%	−2.3%
D: H₂(20.1 μg/d/kg)	13.6%	36.8%	36.8%	41.9%
E: H₂(80.6 μg/d/kg)	38.6%	77.3%	61.9%	41.4%
*Pearson coefficient*	0.990	0.952	0.999	0.633

^†Mucosal protective effect at each hydrogen concentration was calculated by (damage level in group F – damage level in group C or D or E)/(damage level in group F - damage level in group G).
^‡In serum, since the gastric damage did not affect serum 8-OHdG level, the protective effect was calculated by (damage level in group F – damage level in group C or D or E)/damage level in group F.
