Article Synopsis
  • Hydrogen sulfide (HS) promotes nitric oxide (NO) production, which is beneficial for heart health, but its effects on protein S-nitrosoproteome and related physiological outcomes are not fully understood.
  • Endothelial cells were treated with HS, followed by a series of experiments to identify and analyze S-nitrosylated proteins, revealing 416 such proteins involved in various signaling pathways and mitochondrial functions.
  • The study confirmed that HS positively influences endothelial S-nitrosoproteome, suggesting it helps protect the heart by maintaining mitochondrial balance.

Objective: Drinking ice water is a common daily activity. The safety of ice water ingestion has been questioned due to its possible deleterious effect on heart rate or cardiac rhythm, especially in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Thus, we investigated the heart rate variability (HRV) before and after ice water ingestion in normal subjects to delineate the possible effect of ice water ingestion on autonomic nervous modulation.
