Figure 3From: Regulation of Vascular Tone, Angiogenesis and Cellular Bioenergetics by the 3-Mercaptopyruvate Sulfurtransferase/H2S Pathway: Functional Impairment by Hyperglycemia and Restoration by dl-α-Lipoic AcidEnzymatic and nonenzymatic H2S production from 3-MP (A) bEnd3 cell homogenates, heat-inactivated homogenates or PBS in the absence of homogenates were incubated with increasing concentrations of 3-MP for 1 h, followed by the measurement of H2S production. (B) Effect of removal of headspace gases to the detectable levels of H2S in a PBS solution of 3-MP (1 mmol/L). Data show mean ± SEM values; n = 3 independent determinations.Back to article page
