Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is initiated in aggregation and adhesion of inflammatory cells to vascular endothelium mediated by adhesion molecules, thereby activating platelets and inducing thrombosis. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gasotransmitter with anti-adhesive, anti-inflammatory and vasoactive properties. This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effect of platelet aggregation and thromb...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is believed to be involved in numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes, and now it is recognized as the third endogenous signaling gasotransmitter, following nitric oxide and carbon monoxide; however, the effects of H2S on inflammatory factors in acute myocardial ischemia injury in rats have not been clarified. In the present study, sodium hydrosulfide (NaH...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gaseous mediator synthesized in mammalian tissues by three main enzymes-cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE), and 3-mercaptopyruvate-sulfurtransferase-and its levels increase under inflammatory conditions or sepsis. Since H2S and H2S-releasing molecules afford inhibitory properties in leukocyte trafficking, we tested whether endogenous annexin ...

BACKGROUND Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) displays vasodilative, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective activities. Impaired production of H(2)S contributes to the increased intrahepatic resistance in cirrhotic livers. The study aimed to investigate the roles of H(2)S in carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4))-induced hepatotoxicity, cirrhosis and portal hypertension. METHODS AND FINDINGS Sodiu...

The water column in brackish and saline lakes hosts various forms of sulfur including sulfide (hydrosulfide), elemental, thiosulfate, sulfate sulfur. unequal distribution these reduced species indicates the presence two opposing processes - reduction oxidation newly formed hydrogen sulfide. scale varies among lakes, resulting differing proportions forms. bacterial ions is confirmed by a signifi...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been recently found to act as a potent priming agent. This study explored the hypothesis that hydroponic pretreatment of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa cv. Camarosa) roots with a H2S donor, sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS; 100 μM for 48 h), could induce long-lasting priming effects and tolerance to subsequent exposure to 100mM NaCI or 10% (w/v) PEG-6000 for 7 d. Hydrogen s...

Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) has recently been identified as an endogenous gaseous signaling molecule. In the vascular system, the formation of H(2)S is catalyzed by cystathionine γ‑lyase (CSE). Previous studies have demonstrated the protective effects of H(2)S on ischemic injury in various types of tissue. However,, little is known about the role of H(2)S in diabetes-associated vascular diseases. ...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is the last gaseous transmitter identified in mammals, and previous studies have reported disparate conclusions regarding the implication of H2S in cancer progression. In the present study, we hypothesized that sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), a fast H2S-releasing donor, might interfere with the mitochondrial respiratory chain of tumor cells, increase tumor oxygenation, and po...

Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) has been shown to induce transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1)-mediated neurogenic inflammation in polymicrobial sepsis. However, endogenous neural factors that modulate this event and the molecular mechanism by which this occurs remain unclear. Therefore, this study tested the hypothesis that whether substance P (SP) is one important neural element that impl...

Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) is one of three endogenous gases, along with carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO), that exert a variety of important vascular actions in vivo. Although it has been demonstrated that CO or NO can trigger the development of a preconditioned phenotype in postischemic tissues, it is unclear whether H(2)S may also induce protection in organs subsequently exposed to isc...
