High-glucose increases NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) expression, reactive oxygen species
generation, and matrix protein synthesis by inhibiting AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)
in renal cells. Because hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) inhibits high glucose-induced matrix protein
increase by activating AMPK in renal cells, we examined whether H 2 S inhibits high
glucose-induced expression of NOX4 and matrix protein and whether H 2 S and NO
pathways are integrated. High glucose increased NOX4 expression and activity at 24 h in …
