Abstract: Microplastics, which are new types of environmental pollutants, are recently receiving widespread attention worldwide. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as the third endogenous gaseous mediator had protective effects in multiple physiological and pathological conditions. However, the protective… read more here.
