Research Abstract |
We examined whether hydrogen sulfide inhibits contraction and MAP kinase phosphorylation in airway smooth muscle. NaSH, a donor of hydrogen sulfide, significantly inhibited acethylcholine-stimulated guinea pig airway smooth muscle contraction. In addition, NaSH inhibited ERK phosphorylation in human airway smoothmuscle cells.
