Sodium sulfide is efficacious in reducing apoptosis in response to I/R injury. Along with its known effects on reducing necrosis, sulfide's effects on apoptosis may partially contribute to providing myocardial protection. Exogenous sulfide may have therapeutic utility in clinical settings in which I/R injury is encountered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
