Hydrogen sulfide (H<sub>2</sub>S) is a novel gasotransmitter produced endogenously in mammalian cells, which works by mediating diverse physiological functions. An imbalance in H<sub>2</sub>S metabolism is associated with defective bone homeostasis. However, it is unknown whether H<sub>2</sub>S plays any epigenetic role in bone loss induced by hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). We demonstrate that diet-induced HHcy, a mouse model of metabolite induced osteoporosis, alters homocysteine metabolism by de ...[more]
