GYY4137 attenuates remodeling, preserves cardiac function and modulates the natriuretic peptide response to ischemia. Journal of molecular and cellular cardiology, 2015, Volume: 87 Myocardial infarction followed by adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling is the most frequent proximate cause of heart failure. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important endogenous modulator of diverse physiological and pathophysiological processes. Its role in post-ischemic ventricular remodeling and the associated neurohormonal responses has not been defined. Here, we aimed at evaluating whether the slow-releasing water-soluble H2S donor GYY4137 (GYY) exerts cardioprotective effects and modulates the neurohormonal response to cardiac ischemic injury.. Treatment for 2 or 7 days with GYY (100 mg/Kg/48 h, IP) after acute myocardial infarction (MI) in rats preserved LV dimensions and function in vivo, compared to untreated infarcted (MI), placebo- and dl-propargylglycine- (PAG, an inhibitor of endogenous H2S synthesis) treated animals (n=9/group/time-point).

Myocardial infarction followed by adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling is the most frequent proximate cause of heart failure. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important endogenous modulator of diverse physiological and pathophysiological processes. Its role in post-ischemic ventricular remodeling and the associated neurohormonal responses has not been defined. Here, we aimed at evaluating whether the slow-releasing water-soluble H2S donor GYY4137 (GYY) exerts cardioprotective effects and modulates the neurohormonal response to cardiac ischemic injury..
