Abstract:
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was considered as the third gasotransmitter,along with nitric oxide and carbon monoxide,with extensively biological activities.Considerable evidence showed that H2S was involved in inflammatory processes such as in inflammatory cells,inflammatory mediates,vascular tension and signaling pathways.Previous studies suggested H2S played a bidirectional role in regulating inflammation including pro- and anti-inflammatory actions due to different animal models.Further study about the role and mechanism of H2S in inflammation will contribute to efficient prevention and treatment for inflammatory diseases.
