| Abstract |
Inflammation is a response to traumatic, infectious, post-ischemic, toxic, or autoimmune injury. However, uncontrolled inflammation can lead to disease, and inflammation is now believed to be responsible for several disease conditions. Research in our laboratory has shown that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) acts as a novel mediator of inflammation. At present, work in several research groups worldwide is focused on determining the role of H2S in inflammation. H2S has been implicated in different inflammatory conditions. Most of this research involved working with animal models of disease and in vitro systems. Recent research, however, points to a role of H2S in clinical inflammatory disease as well. This chapter describes our current understanding of the role of H2S in inflammation. |
