Range of plasma hydrogen sulfide in children / 中国医学科学院学报

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To measure the range of plasma hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in children.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Totally 200 healthy children were classified into 4 groups based on age and sex 7-14 years old group (n = 75, 43 boys and 32 girls), 15-19 years old group (n = 125, 64 boys and 61 girls). Plasma H2S level was detected by a modified sulfide electrode-based method.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Plasma H2 S levels were (52.2181 +/- 17.9400) micromol/L in 7-14 years old boys, (51.9441 +/- 16.5448) micromol/L in 7-14 years old girls, (52.8771 +/- 14.1444) micromol/L in 15-19 years old boys, and (53.6551 +/- 14.5563) micromol/L in 15-19 years old girls (P > 0.05). In summary, the range of plasma H2S in children was about (52.8234 +/- 15.4339) micromol/L.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The range of plasma H2S in children is about (52.8234 +/- 15.4339) micromol/L.</p>
