H₂S has been demonstrated to be overproduced in sepsis. H₂S stimulation of TRPV1 and the downstream release of SP lead to the activation of ERK_1/2, which subsequently induces the phosphorylation and degradation of IκBα, as well as the translocation and activation of NF-κB, thereby leading to SIRS and MODS characteristic of severe sepsis. indicates exogenous administration; indicates inhibition.
