AIM: To investigate the effects of hydrogen (H-2) on Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) activation in a rat model of corneal alkali burn.METHODS: In each rat, one cornea was subjected to alkali exposure. Physiological saline (saline group) or H-2-dissolved saline (H-2 group) was instilled continuously on the cornea for 5min before and after alkali exposure. Inflammatory cells, neovascularization, and cytoplasmic SOD1 levels were evaluated immunohistochemically in enucleated eyes from both groups. Three-dimensional ultrastructural tissue changes in the eyes were analyzed using low-vacuum scanning electron microscopy.RESULTS: The numbers of both inflammatory and vascular endothelial cells were significantly reduced in the corneas of the H-2 group (P
