Research progress on the regulation of glucose metabolism by hydrogen sulfide / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease with multiple chronic metabolic complications characterized by high glucose concentration. The incidence of diabetes mellitus is increasing, but its specific mechanisms of pathogenesis have not been fully elucidated. Hydrogen sulfide (H 2S), as a new member of the gasotransmitter family, is closely related to the regulation of glucose metabolism. Therefore, this review emphatically summarized the production of endogenous H 2S and the mechanisms involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism by H 2S, aiming to provide new directions and perspectives for the research of diabetes mellitus.
