Abstract

Based on our studies for more than 20 years, we review the recent advances in sulfur dioxide (SO2) biology. Three sections are involved: (1) The studies on SO2 toxicological effects and its underlying mechanisms; (2) The new investigations on SO2 donor and physiological role of SO2 as a new type-gas transmitter; (3) The observations on pathophysiologic roles of SO2.

Key words: Sulfur dioxide; toxicology; physiology; pathophysiology
