E-mail: phchead@nus.edu.sg <h3>SPECIFIC AIMS</h3> The aim of this work was to investigate the part played by the novel gaseous mediator, hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) in E. coli lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in the mouse and to examine plasma concentrations of this mediator in patients with septic shock. <h3>PRINCIPAL FINDINGS</h3> 1. LPS-induced endotoxic shock is associated with increased plasma H 2 S concentration and tissue H 2 S tissue synthesizing activity LPS administration
