Abstract:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is the third gas signal molecule followed by nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), which is produced by special enzyme catalysis in the body and has specific metabolic process. It plays an important role in the central nervous system. It participates in many nervous functions such as long-term potentiation of hippocampus and the role of the glial cell activity. It impacts the hypothalamus - pituitary - adrenal axis, participates in the regulation of neuronal oxidative stress reaction and cerebrovascular function in the physiologicalstate. It is also involved in a variety of central nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, head-induced seizure, Down syndrome, and the pathophysiological processes of cerebral ischemia and cerebral ischemia reperfusion. In this paper, we reviewed the research progress of H2S in the central nervous system.

Key words:Hydrogen sulfide,Central nervous system,cerebral ischemia,mechanisms
