Abstract
Sulfur dioxide has been considered as a toxic gas.However,recently more and more studies have shown that sulfur dioxide can be generated endogenously in cardiovascular system and has broad physiologic effects.Studies demonstrate that sulfur dioxide plays an important role in the regulation in the pathophysiologic process of many cardiovascular diseases,such as hypertension,atherosclerosis.These findings suggest that sulfur dioxide might be a novel endogenous gaseous signaling molecule involved in the regulation of cardiovascular functions. Key words: Sulfur dioxide; Regulation of cardiovascular functions; Gaseous signaling molecule
