Additionally, H2S could promote ischaemic diabetic wound healing via increasing the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in type 2 diabetic db/db mice [52]. Here, EGF is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
