Colonic Hydrogen Sulfide–Induced Visceral Pain and Referred Hyperalgesia Involve Activation of Both Cav3.2 and TRPA1 Channels in Mice

Luminal hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gasotransmitter, causes colonic pain / referred hyperalgesia in mice, most probably via activation of T-type Ca2+ channels. Here we analyzed the mechanisms for H2S-induced facilitation of colonic pain signals. Intracolonic administration of NaHS, an H2S donor, evoke...
