Aspirin augments the concentration of endogenous hydrogen sulfide in mouse brain and liver.
Intraperitoneal injections of lysine acetylsalicylate (L-ASA, aspirin) in a dose of 10 mg during 5 consecutive days to BALB/c and B10.PL mice increased the concentration of endogenous hydrogen sulfide in their livers. The rise of hydrogen sulfur levels was shown also in brains of BALB/c females and B10.PL males, however in BALB/c male brains there is no statistically significant difference. The mechanism of aspirin action on H2S concentration is discussed.
