Hydrogen (H 2 ) acts as a therapeutic antioxidant. However, there are few reports on H 2  function in other capacities in diabetes mellitus (DM). Therefore, in this study, we investigated the role of H 2  in glucose transport by studying cultured mouse C2C12 cells and human hepatoma Hep-G2 cells  in vitro , in addition to three types of diabetic mice [Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetic mice, high-fat diet-induced type 2 diabetic mice, and genetically diabetic  db/db  mice]  in vivo . The results show that H 2  promoted 2-[ 14 C]-deoxy- d -glucose (2-DG) uptake into C2C12 cells via the translocation of glucose transporter Glut4 through activation of phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI3K), protein kinase C (PKC), and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), although it did not stimulate the translocation of Glut2 in Hep G2 cells. H 2  significantly increased skeletal muscle membrane Glut4 expression and markedly improved glycemic control in STZ-induced type 1 diabetic mice after chronic intraperitoneal (i.p.) and oral (p.o.) administration. However, long-term p.o. administration of H 2  had least effect on the obese and non-insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes mouse models. Our study demonstrates that H 2  exerts metabolic effects similar to those of insulin and may be a novel therapeutic alternative to insulin in type 1 diabetes mellitus that can be administered orally.
