Effect of hydrogen sulfide on the characteristics of the neuromuscular synapse terminals of the rat diaphragm

Abstract

Hydrogen sulfide is one of the gas-transmitters that also performs other biological functions. The antioxidant property of this substance is one of the important ones. The research was conducted on rats of both sexes between 6 and 18 days of age. We have shown that the offspring of females injected subcutaneously with hydrogen sulfide increased the area and luminescence of nerve terminals during postnatal ontogenesis, which can be further used to level the effects of hyperhomocysteinemia on synaptic transmission. Key words: neuromuscular synapse, fluorescent microscopy, hydrogen sulfide.
