Endogenous Hydrogen Sulfide Is an Anti-inflammatory Molecule in Dextran Sodium Sulfate-Induced Colitis in Mice

Background Endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is increasingly being recognized as an important gaseous physiological mediator. Accumulating evidence shows the functions of H2S in various models of disease, but rarely in colitis. In this study, we investigated the role of endogenous H2S in a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis model.
