Abstract

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gas with the characteristic odor of rotten eggs, is known for its toxicity and as an environmental hazard [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Recently H2S has been recognized as a signaling molecule of the cardiovascular, inflammatory and nervous systems. Alongside with nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide, it is now referred to as the “third endogenous gaseous transmitter” [6]. Inhalation of gaseous H2S and administration of compounds that donate H2S have been studied in various models of ischemia-reperfusion and circulatory shock [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24].
