Hydrogen Sulfide and Endothelium-Dependent Vasorelaxation

Hydrogen Sulfide and Endothelium-Dependent Vasorelaxation

In addition to nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), synthesized enzymatically from l-cysteine or l-homocysteine, is the third gasotransmitter in mammals. Endogenous H2S is involved in the regulation of many physiological processes, including vascular tone. Although initially it...
