Although gasotransmitters nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (HS) receive a bad connotation; in low concentrations these play a major governing role in local and systemic blood flow, stomach acid release, smooth muscles relaxations, anti-inflammatory behavior, protective effect and more. Many of these physiological processes are upstream regulated by gut peptides, for instance gastrin, cholecystokinin, secretin, motilin, ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide 1 and 2. The relationship between gasotransmitters and gut hormones is poorly understood. In this review, we discuss the role of NO, CO and HS on gut peptide release and functioning, and whether manipulation by gasotransmitter substrates or specific blockers leads to physiological alterations.

Respiratory symptoms are prevalent in the general population, and they are associated with a decline in lung function and increased mortality. The gut-lung connection suggests intestinal dysbiosis may impact lung diseases, with showing promise in regulating extraintestinal diseases. However, its application in patients with respiratory symptoms lacks clinical trial evidence.

Article Synopsis
- - Resveratrol butyrate esters (RBEs) were developed to improve the bioactivity of resveratrol, a compound known for its potential benefits in managing hypertension and promoting gut health.
- - A study with juvenile rats showed that exposure to microplastics worsened hypertension caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD), but treatment with RBE significantly lowered blood pressure and improved nitric oxide levels.
- - RBE treatment also positively influenced the renin-angiotensin system, gut microbiome composition, and increased the levels of butyric acid, indicating a multifaceted mechanism for its antihypertensive effects.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Hydrogen Sulfide in Axes Between Gut and Other Organs.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS), a ubiquitous small gaseous signaling molecule, plays a critical role in various diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ischemic stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI) reducing inflammation, inhibiting oxidative stress, and cell apoptosis. Uncontrolled inflammation is closely related to pathological process of ischemic stroke, RA, MI, and IBD. Solid evidence has revealed the axes between gut and other organs like joint, brain, and heart, and indicated that HS-mediated anti-inflammatory effect against IBD, RA, MI, and ischemic stroke might be related to regulating the functions of axes between gut and other organs.

The intricate relationship between hydrogen sulfide (HS), gut microbiota, and sirtuins (SIRTs) can be seen as a paradigm axis in maintaining cellular homeostasis, modulating oxidative stress, and promoting mitochondrial health, which together play a pivotal role in aging and neurodegenerative diseases. HS, a gasotransmitter synthesized endogenously and by specific gut microbiota, acts as a potent modulator of mitochondrial function and oxidative stress, protecting against cellular damage. Through sulfate-reducing bacteria, gut microbiota influences systemic HS levels, creating a link between gut health and metabolic processes.
