Introduction: The incidence rate of gastric erosions and ulcers in diabetic patients are higher due to failure of mucosal antioxidant defense and maintain enough blood flow. The present study evaluated the gastro-protective effect of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) against indomethacin-induced gastric lesions in diabetic rats. Methods: In order to test anti-ulcer activity of NaHS against indomet...

The effects of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), the donor of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), on the exo/endocytosis cycle of synaptic vesicles in the motor nerve ending of the mouse diaphragm were studied using intracellular microelectrode technique and fluorescent microscopy. NaHS increased the frequency of miniature end plate potentials (MEPPs), without changing their amplitude–time parameters. NaHS also ...

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent and currently available antitumor therapeutic agent; however, its clinical application is limited by the occurrence of cardiotoxicity. Preliminary evidence indicates that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) may exert protective effects against DOX cardiotoxicity. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether calreticulin (CRT) is involved in the cardioprote...
