Hydrogen sulfide does not induce hypometabolism in sheep
In a widely publicized series of experiments by Blackstone et al., hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was found to induce hypometabolism in mice. These experiments raised interest in whether such “suspended animation” could be achieved in humans. If administration of H2S would … Continue reading

Energy metabolism and sepsis
In this recent paper the authors argue that “multi-organ failure secondary to sepsis may actually represent an adaptive hypometabolic response to preserve ATP homeostasis in the face of a prolonged inflammatory insult.” Unlike organ specific diseases, mitochondrial dysfunction in multiple … Continue reading
