Abstract
Endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H_2S) is to third found gaseous transmitter.In cardiovascular system, H_2S is produced endogenously by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE)and plays an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular physiologic function and patho physiological processes.The CSE/H_2S system has a variety of biological effects in the cardiovascular system, such as inducing vasorelaxation,decreases blood pressure,inhibiting vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and inducing anti-oxidant.It is also concerned with variety of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipemia, atherosclerosis,coronary artery disease and so on.We summarize the biochemical characteristics and the physiological functions of endogenous H_2S and its patho physiological effects in cardiovascular diseases. Key words: Hydrogen sulfide; Cardiovascular disease; Gasotransmitter
