We report of direct H2S effects on membrane potential of NTS neurons.
H2S has reversible, depolarizing effects on 95% of NTS neurons tested (72/76).
These effects were postsynaptic (observed in tetrodotoxin and kynurenic acid).
Depolarization was followed by a hyperpolarization in 64% of neurons.
Hyperpolarizations were the result of the modulation of KATP channels.
