Endogenous peripheral hydrogen sulfide is propyretic: its permissive role in brown adipose tissue thermogenesis in rats.

New Findings: What is the central question of this study? In fever, the most striking response in the acute phase reaction of systemic inflammation, plasma H S concentration increases. However, the role of endogenous peripheral H S in fever is unknown. What is the main finding and its importance? Endogenous peripheral H S is permissive for increased brown adipose tissue thermogenesis to maintain thermal homeostasis in cold environments as well as to mount fever.
