Hydrogen sulfide protects against high glucose‑induced lipid metabolic disturbances in 3T3‑L1 adipocytes via the AMPK signaling pathway

Aberrant lipid metabolism contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The mechanisms by which hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous gasotransmitter, regulates lipid metabolism remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate if the protective effects of H2S during high glucose (HG)‑induced lipid accumulation in 3T3‑L1 adipocytes may be mediated by AMP‑activated protein kinase (AMPK). Triglyceride (TG) content and...
