Role of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) in cell signaling and atherosclerosis : A review / Mohd Izani Othman

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been known for decades as a toxic gas. However, this gas has been discovered to be synthesised enzymatically in human tissues and is regarded as a novel gasotransmitter. H2S is a signaling molecule that involves and governs many biological functions of the body. It has bee...
