Hydrogen Sulfide Actions in the Vasculature

Full Article on Wiley Online Library



Abstract

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a small, gaseous molecule with poor solubility in water that is generated by multiple pathways in many species including humans. It acts as a signaling molecule in many tissues with both beneficial and pathological effects. This article discusses its many actions in the vascular system and the growing evidence of its role to regulate vascular tone, angiogenesis, endothelial barrier function, redox, and inflammation. Alterations in some disease states are also discussed including potential roles in promoting tumor growth and contributions to the development of metabolic disease. © 2021 American Physiological Society.
