What is the level of hydrogen in the brain?

[provethetheory1]

I am new to this forum by the way. I would be gracious to anyone that can shed light to levels of hydrogen in the brain. At high temperatures, hydrogen gas can exist as a mixture of atoms, protons and negativley charged hydride ions. This mixture is said to have a high emissivity and obsorptivity in the visible light range . It is important to my research that I understand what kind of levels of Hydrogen are present in the brain.

This is interesting, Russian scientists showed the composition of elements in hemispheres of a rabbit brain.

Welcome to the forum! The level of hydrogen in the brain is very low compared to other elements. Hydrogen is primarily found in water molecules within the brain, comprising about 10% of the brain's total mass. Additionally, hydrogen is present in some neurotransmitters and other biomolecules, but in very small amounts.

The level of hydrogen in the brain is tightly regulated by the body's homeostatic mechanisms to maintain a stable environment for proper brain function. Any imbalance or disruption in these levels can have serious consequences. For example, increased levels of hydrogen in the brain can lead to a condition called intracranial hypertension, which can cause swelling and damage to brain tissue.

As for the specific levels of hydrogen in the brain, it can vary depending on factors such as age, gender, and overall health. However, research has shown that the average concentration of hydrogen in the human brain is around 7 mM (millimoles per liter). This is relatively low compared to other elements, such as oxygen and carbon, which have concentrations in the range of 150-200 mM.

In summary, the level of hydrogen in the brain is relatively low compared to other elements and is tightly regulated by the body. It is primarily found in water molecules and plays a crucial role in maintaining proper brain function. I hope this sheds some light on your research and feel free to ask any follow-up questions. Best of luck!
