Characterization and safety evaluation of MgH2. The MgH2 molecular stacking pattern is shown in (A). Zetasizer Nano was used to analyze the particle size distribution (B). The hydrogen microelectrode was performed to detect the hydrogen generation of MgH2 in deionized water (C). SEM was used to determine the morphological appearance (D) and elemental composition distribution (E). The safety of MgH2 was also evaluated. Mice were fed MgH2-supplemented feed for a long time. On the 29th day, toxicity tests on mouse serum to evaluate liver and kidney function were carried out in MG and MH groups (F). In GC2 cells, the cell toxicity (G) of MgH2 was evaluated by measuring the absorbance at 450 nm after incubation with different concentrations of MgH2. The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
