Increased renal methylglyoxal formation with down-regulation of PGC-1α-FBPase pathway in cystathionine γ-lyase knockout mice.

We have previously reported that hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S), a gasotransmitter and vasodilator has cytoprotective properties against methylglyoxal (MG), a reactive glucose metabolite associated with diabetes and hypertension. Recently, H(2)S was shown to up-regulate peroxisome proliferator-activated r...
