This review frames the discussion of harnessing endogenous H2S within the context of a non-ischemic form of cardiomyopathy, termed diabeticCardiovascular disease, and heart failure, and examines the current literature around therapeutic interventions that stimulate H 2S production.
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. While various studies have shown the beneficial impact of exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-releasing drugs, few have demonstrated the influence of endogenous H2S production. Modulating the predominant enzymatic sources of H2S-cystathionine-β-synthase, cystathionine-γ-lyase, and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase-is an emerging and promising research area. This review frames the discussion of harnessing endogenous H2S within the context of a non-ischemic form of cardiomyopathy, termed diabetic cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. Also, we examine the current literature around therapeutic interventions, such as intermittent fasting and exercise, that stimulate H2S production.

Sulourea-coordinated Pd nanocubes for NIR-responsive photothermal/H2S therapy of cancer.

TL;DR: In this paper, a photothermal/photoacoustic dual-mode imaging-guided tumor treatment was proposed for effective cancer therapy. But, the Pd-Su nanomedicine showed a high Su loading capacity (85mg-g-1), a high near-infrared photothermal conversion efficiency (69.4%), and NIR-controlled H2S release by the photothermal-triggered hydrolysis of Su.

Mechanisms linking obesity with cardiovascular disease

TL;DR: The underlying mechanisms as well as the ways in which smoking and dyslipidaemia increase, and physical activity attenuates, the adverse effects of obesity on cardiovascular health are beginning to be understood.

Hypoxia inducible factors and the response to hypoxic stress

TL;DR: In mammals, the primary transcriptional response to hypoxic stress is mediated by the hypoxia-inducible factors, and the HIFα subunits are intricately responsive to numerous other factors, including factor-inhibiting HIF1α, sirtuins, and metabolites.
