| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to determine whether hydrogen sulfide exerts hepatoprotective effects against acute liver failure, and if so, to elucidate the precise mechanisms by which hydrogen sulfide prevents acute liver failure. The following findings were obtained through this study: 1. Hydrogen sulfide improved survival of acute liver failure mice, which was associated with the attenuation of liver injury. 2. One of the mechanisms by which hydrogen sulfide improved survival of the liver failure mice was at least in part by anti-apoptotic effects of hydrogen sulfide. 3. The anti-apoptotic effects of hydrogen sulfide was via caspase-dependent pathway.
