A)Overview and Specific Aims:
Higher than normal levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the colon plays an important role in the etiology of ulcerative colitis (UC). Increased H2S impairs the colonic cell's ability to oxidize butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids required for cell nutrition.
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as a critical gaseous signaling molecule with a role in multiple processes including ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, angiogenesis, intimal hyperplasia, and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. It even appears to hold anti-atherosclerotic properties. However, the gas is
The World Health Organization (WHO) indexed cardiovascular disease (CVD) as a leading foundation for human death in developing as well as developed countries. Ischemic necrosis of the myocardium is called myocar¬dial infarction. Despite improvements in medical and interventional therapies in recent
Our research is designed to determine mechanistically why consumption of a high red meat and saturated fat diet imparts risk for CRC development and to demonstrate that primary microbial risk factors (sulfidogenic and bile acid metabolizing bacteria) are modifiable by diet. The focus is on taurine,
The primary, scientific long term objective is to study any correlation that brief upregulation of endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) via pre-operative protein calorie restriction (PCR) in elective major surgery may have biologic effects in humans. In this study, the investigators plan to evaluate
Despite the recent advances in treatment, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) frequently results in permanent myocardial injury imposing an increased risk for adverse cardiac remodelling, diminished cardiac function and the development of heart failure. Decreased cardiac function after PPCI is
Introduction and rationale:
Despite the recent advances in treatment, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) frequently results in permanent myocardial injury imposing an increased risk for adverse cardiac remodelling, diminished cardiac function and the development of heart failure. Decreased cardiac
This will be a 3 month, placebo controlled double blind study, to determine whether 800 mg SG1002 given twice daily will be safe and will improve circulating levels of hydrogen sulfide and/or nitrite in heart failure subjects. In addition, secondary endpoints such as 6 minute walk distance,
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), better known as a poisonous gas, has lately emerging as a third gaseous transmitter in mammals, next to nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). H2S is present in most human tissues in concentrations up to 50 μM. Most of it is synthesized in brain, cardiovascular system,
