From: H2S, a novel gasotransmitter, involves in gastric accommodation

Figure 1

Mice gastric fundus expressed CBS and CSE and generated detectable amounts of H2S.

CBS and CSE were expressed in mice fundus (a). CBS was expressed on the soma of the myenteric neurons of gastric fundus muscle myenteric plexus. Bundles of muscular tissue showed a clear immunoreactivity for CSE (b). The gastric fundus of mouse generated detectable amounts of H2S. The biosynthesis of H2S was increased by 3- fold over basal values after incubation of tissue homogenates with L-Cys, the CBS/CSE substrate (c). Scale bar: 50 μm. n = 8; **P < 0.01.
