Abstract EN
Methane, the simplest organic compound, was deemed to have little physiological action for decades.
However, recently, many basic studies have discovered that methane has several important biological effects that can protect cells and organs from inflammation, oxidant, and apoptosis.
Heretofore, there are two delivery methods that have been applied to researches and have been proved to be feasible, including the inhalation of methane gas and injection with the methane-rich saline.
This review studies on the clinical development of methane and discusses about the mechanism behind these protective effects.
As a new field in gas medicine, this study also comes up with some problems and prospects on methane and further studies.
