NOS3 and left ventricular hypertrophy: In left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), the combined external administration of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to reverse LVH by activating the endothelial nitric oxide synthase pathway (eNOS/NO), independent of the cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE/H2S) pathway.
