Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) inhibits the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, how cystathionine-gamma-lyase (CSE), a major enzyme that produces H₂S, is regulated remains unknown. Whether calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) inhibits the proliferation of VSMCs by regulating the endogenous CSE/H₂S pathway in diabetic rat has not been previously investigated.
