Disease | |
COPD | Higher serum H2S level in patients with COPD compared with healthy subjects[16] |
Acute exacerbation of COPD decreases serum H2S level compared to patients with stable COPD[16,42] | |
Higher sputum H2S levels in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD compared to those with stable COPD[42] | |
Higher sputum-to-serum ratio of H2S in COPD subjects with acute exacerbation comparative with those with stable disease[42] | |
Lower serum H2S levels in patients with COPD who required antibiotics treatment[43] | |
Asthma | In children, serum H2S concentration was significantly decreased compared to healthy subjects and correlated positively with FEV1[17] |
In adults, exhaled H2S was lowest in eosinophilic asthma correlated positively with FEV1[46] | |
Pulmonary fibrosis | H2S suppress human fibroblast migration, proliferation and phenotype transform stimulated by fetal bovine serum and growth factors and inhibits the TGF-β1-induced differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts[53] |
