Hydrogen Sulfide Increases Glutathione Production and Suppresses Oxidative Stress in Mitochondria

Title: Hydrogen sulfide increases glutathione production and suppresses oxidative stress in mitochondria.

Summary: "H2S enhances GSH by enhancing cystine/cysteine transporters and redistributes GSH to mitochondria. H2S produced in mitochondria also may directly suppress oxidative stress. It provides a new mechanism of neuroprotection from oxidative stress by H2S."
