Using C<sub>2</sub>C<sub>12</sub> mouse myotubes as a model, this study investigates the hypothesis that the beneficial effects of LC supplementation are mediated by upregulation of the H<sub>2</sub>S status under diabetic conditions. Results show that exogenous administration of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, 10 or 20 µM; 6 hours), a H<sub>2</sub>S donor, significantly (p ...[more]
