title: Determination of hydrogen sulfide and acid-labile sulfur in animal tissues by gas chromatography and ion chromatography.
abstract: A sensitive and reliable method was developed for the determination of hydrogen sulfide and acid-labile sulfur (ALS) in animal tissues using gas chromatography with flame photometric detector (GC-FPD) and ion chromatography (IC). Hydrogen sulfide trapped in alkaline solution was determined by GC-FPD as hydrogen sulfide or by IC as sulfate after oxidation with hydrogen peroxide. Sodium sulfide used as a source of hydrogen sulfide was standardized by IC. Fresh rat liver and heart tissues contained 112.2+/-23.0 and 274.1+/-34.6 nmol/g of ALS respectively. Free hydrogen sulfide was not detected.
