An object of the present invention is to provide a scavenger of in vivo harmful reactive oxygen species and/or free radicals, which is capable of effectively reducing the concentrations of in vivo reactive oxygen species and/or free radicals and exhibiting given effects such as the suppression of aging process, the prevention of geriatric or lifestyle-related disease, health promotion, and the inhibition of oxidative stress by virtue of this reduction in the concentrations of reactive oxygen species and/or free radicals. The scavenger of in vivo harmful reactive oxygen species and/or free radicals of the present invention comprises a liquid or gas comprising at least a hydrogen molecule. This medium may further comprise an oxygen molecule. Furthermore, this medium may comprise water or an aqueous solution or may be a gas. The scavenger of reactive oxygen species and/or free radicals can be used in the treatment or prevention of a disorder attributed to reactive oxygen species and/or free radicals.
本发明的目的是提供一种体内有害活性氧和/或自由基的清除剂,它能够有效降低体内活性氧和/或自由基的浓度,并通过降低活性氧和/或自由基的浓度而显示出抑制衰老过程、预防老年病或与生活方式有关的疾病、促进健康和抑制氧化应激等效果。本发明的体内有害活性氧和/或自由基清除剂包括至少含有一个氢分子的液体或气体。该介质可进一步包含氧分子。此外,这种介质可以是
水或
水溶液,也可以是气体。活性氧和/或自由基清除剂可用于治疗或预防活性氧和/或自由基引起的疾病。
