Objective: Our aim was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of hydrogen sulfide (H S), injected within the caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM), on blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in anesthetized rats. Methods: Sixty-seven male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomized into H S treatment (n  =  34) or antagonist pretreatment (n  =  33) groups. The H S treatment group was further divided into the following subgroups: control (artificial cerebrospinal fluid [aCSF]) 100 nl, n = 6; sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, a H S donor) 20, 200, or 2,000 µmol/l (n = 7 for each dose), and S-ademetionine (SAM; cystathionine-β- synthase agonist) 1 mmol/l (n = 7). Antagonist pretreatment control groups received NaHS (200 µmol/l) combined with 1 of the following agents: 1% dimethyl sulfoxide or aCSF (control; 100 nl; n = 6), kynurenic acid (glutamate receptor antagonist; 5 mmol/l; n = 7), hydroxy- lamine (cystathionine-β-synthase antagonist; 100 mmol/l; n = 7), or glibenclamide (K channel antagonist; n = 7).
