A Critical Review of the Literature on Hydrogen Sulfide Toxicity
TLDR
This review of the literature is intended as an evaluative report rather than an annotated bibliography of all the source material examined on hydrogen sulfide, noting information gaps that may require further investigation.Abstract:
The information available on the biological activity of hydrogen sulfide has been examined for present status of critical results pertaining to the toxicity of hydrogen sulfide. This review of the literature is intended as an evaluative report rather than an annotated bibliography of all the source material examined on hydrogen sulfide. The information was selected as it might relate to potential toxic effects of hydrogen sulfide to man and summarized, noting information gaps that may require further investigation. Several recommendations are listed for possible consideration for either toxicological research or additional short- and long-term tests. Two bibliographies have been provided to assist in locating references considered in this report: (1) literature examined but not cited and (2) reference citations. The majority of the references in the first bibliography were considered peripheral information and less appropriate for inclusion in this report.read more

The possible role of hydrogen sulfide as an endogenous neuromodulator
Kazuho Abe,Hideo Kimura +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that physiological concentrations of H2S selectively enhance NMDA receptor-mediated responses and facilitate the induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation, suggesting that endogenous H 2S functions as a neuromodulator in the brain.

Two’s company, three’s a crowd: can H2S be the third endogenous gaseous transmitter?
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that H2S is the third endogenous signaling gasotransmitter, besides nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, and this positioning will open an exciting field‐H2S physiology‐encompassing realization of the interaction of H1N1 and other gasOTransmitters, sulfurating modification of proteins, and the functional role of H2Sin multiple systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen sulphide and its therapeutic potential
TL;DR: The physiology and biochemistry of H2S is overviews, the effects of H 2S inhibitors or H2s donors in animal models of disease are summarized, the potential options for the therapeutic exploitation of H1S are outlined and they are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological Implications of Hydrogen Sulfide: A Whiff Exploration That Blossomed
TL;DR: The important life-supporting role of hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) has evolved from bacteria to plants, invertebrates, vertebrate, vertebrates, and finally to mammals, but over the centuries it had only been known for its toxicity and environmental hazard.
Journal ArticleDOI
The possible role of hydrogen sulfide as an endogenous smooth muscle relaxant in synergy with nitric oxide.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that mRNA for another H2S producing enzyme, cystathionine gamma-lyase, is expressed in the ileum, portal vein, and thoracic aorta.

The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics
Louis S. Goodman,Alfred Gilman +1 more
TL;DR: On pharmacology and the rational use of drugs, 42 authors share the herculean task of reviewing the flood of recent literature under single or dual authorship and each chapter offers a complete and up-to-date review.

Microdetermination of oxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin, and sulfhemoglobin in a single sample of blood
TL;DR: The concentration of SHb in a solution containing HbOt, MHb, and SHb is proportional to the residual optical density of the solution after the MHb has been converted into MHbCN by addition of cyanide.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Sulfur Cycle
TL;DR: The authors' model of the sulfur cycle can draw some conclusions that man is now contributing about one half as much as nature to the total atmospheric burden of sulfur compounds, but by A.D. 2000 he will be contributing about as much, and in the Northern Hemisphere alone he is more than matching nature.

Sulfolobus : A new genus of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria living at low pH and high temperature

TL;DR: Sulfolobus apparently has no close relationship with any previously described bacteria, either heterotrophic or autrotrophic, and may be an important geochemical agent in the production of sulfuric acid from sulfur in high temperature hydrothermal systems.
