Hydrogen sulfide may boost erections - UPI.com
ROME, March 7 (UPI) -- U.S. and Italian researchers say hydrogen sulfide emitted by hot springs may act as a natural version of Viagra.
The gas, which has a pungent odor often compared to the smell of rotten eggs, has been found to widen blood vessels and appears to be able to combat impotence, the Italian news service ANSA reported.
The research was conducted under the guidance of researchers at Naples University and Nobel prize-winning pharmacologist Louis Ignarro of the University of California at Los Angeles.
The report, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, said the discovery could lead to the development of a new therapeutic target against impotence.

Function in the body
Hydrogen sulfide is produced in small amounts by some cells of the mammalian body and has a number of biological functions. It is produced from cysteine by various enzymes. It acts as a vasodilator and is also active in the brain, where it increases the response of the NMDA receptor and facilitates long term potentiation[citation needed], which is involved in the formation of memory. Eventually the gas is converted to sulfites and further oxidized to thiosulfate and sulfate.[citation needed] Due to its effects similar to NO (without its potential to form peroxides by interacting with superoxide), hydrogen sulfide is now recognized as a potential cardioprotective agent. [9] Vasoactivity of garlic is caused by catabolism of its polysulfides to H2S, a reaction which could depend on reduction mediated by glutathione.[10] In trisomy 21 (the most common form of Down syndrome) the body produces an excess of hydrogen sulfide.

If there's more than 10 parts per million we have to evacuate the drilling location.

Interesting stuff. But there's a lot of foods and supplements that will boost Ntirc Oxide already...
