Hydrogen Sulfide and Polysulfides as Biological Mediators
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is recognized as a biological mediator with various roles such as neuromodulation, regulation of the vascular tone, cytoprotection, anti-inflammation, oxygen sensing, angiogenesis, and generation of mitochondrial energy.

Cyanide Beyond Toxicity: A Systematic Review of Its Effects on Vascular Function
ABSTRACT Cyanide is widely recognized for its potent toxicity, yet evidence shows that concentrations below 1 μM may enhance cytochrome c oxidase activity and have a regulatory function. Recent findings also demonstrate that mammalian cells, including endothelial cells, produce cyanide endogenously, where it can modulate mitochondrial bioenergetics ...

Cysteine Signalling in Plant Pathogen Response
ABSTRACT The amino acid cysteine is the precursor for a wide range of sulfur‐containing functional molecules in plants, including enzyme cofactors and defence compounds. Due to its redox active thiol group cysteine is highly reactive. Synthesis and degradation pathways are present in several subcellular compartments to adjust the intracellular cysteine

Mitochondrial and nuclear localization of a novel pea thioredoxin: identification of its mitochondrial target proteins [PDF]
Plants contain several genes encoding thioredoxins (Trxs), small proteins involved in the regulation of the activity of many enzymes through dithiol-disulfide exchange.

High protein diet reduced visceral adipose tissue through MTA‐TST‐Bak/Casp‐3 axis, suggesting that MTA has the potential to be developed as a functional substance for obesity prevention and control. ABSTRACT To explore the mechanism of a high‐protein diet (named high protein and rich fat diet, HPRFD) with weight loss effect regulating visceral fat ...

H2S biosynthesis and catabolism: new insights from molecular studies [PDF]
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has profound biological effects within living organisms and is now increasingly being considered alongside other gaseous signalling molecules, such as nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO).

Redirecting Intermediary Metabolism to Counteract Cyanide Poisoning
Cyanide is coined “the classic metabolic poison”; however, FDA‐approved cyanide chelators do not counteract cyanide's metabolic damage. Here, we review the mechanisms of cyanide toxicity, with a focus on intermediary metabolism. We present the theory that, within the innate plasticity of the metabolome, there may reside metabolic pathways that can ...

Effects of inhibiting antioxidant pathways on cellular hydrogen sulfide and polysulfide metabolism [PDF]
Elaborate antioxidant pathways have evolved to minimize the threat of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and to regulate ROS as signaling entities.

Fire‐related smoke inhalation‐induced acute lung injury (SI‐ALI) poses a significant public health risk, yet effective treatments are limited due to the lack of suitable models. This study developed a more realistic model of SI‐ALI using organ‐on‐a‐chip and organoid technologies, identified key molecules such as catechol‐O‐methyltransferase and ...
