Comparison of scores of hepatic impairments using Suzuki scores with the use of a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Left, left lobe of the liver; Right, right lobe of the liver; Hydrogen, intervention group; No hydrogen, control group. Liver samples in the intervention group using hydrogen showed statistically significantly fewer histological changes compared to the control group (hydrogen × no hydrogen, P=0.024). These differences are demonstrable both in the non-ischemic lobes and the ischemic lobes (left × right, P=0.006).
