Hydrogen sulfide synthesis enzymes reduced in lower esophageal sphincter of patients with achalasia

In conclusion, the expression of hydrogen sulfide synthesis enzymes, cystathionine‐β‐synthase and cystathionine‐γ‐lyase, can be detected in human esophagus and is reduced in patients with achalasia, which implicates the involvement of the two hydrogen sulfide synthesis enzymes in the pathophysiology of achalasia.
