The present study investigated the influence of repeated intraperitoneally (ip) administration of DAS, DADS and DATS on the total level of sulfane sulfur, bound sulfur (S-sulfhydration) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and on the activity of enzymes, which catalyze sulfane sulfur formation and transfer from a donor to an acceptor in the normal mouse kidney, i.e., \u03b3-cystathionase (CSE) and rhodanese (TST). The activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), which is a redox-sensitive protein, containing an \u2013SH group in its catalytic center, was also determined. The obtained results indicated that all tested compounds significantly increased the activity of TST. Moreover, DADS and DATS increased the total sulfane sulfur level and CSE activity in the normal mouse kidney. ALDH activity was inhibited in the kidney after DATS administration. The results indicated also that none of the studied allyl sulfides affected the level of bound sulfur or H2S. Thus, it can be concluded that garlic-derived DADS and DATS can be a source of sulfane sulfur for renal cells but they are not connected with persulfide formation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antiox5040046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,5]],"date-time":"2016-12-05T10:27:09Z","timestamp":1480933629000},"page":"46","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["The Effects of Different Garlic-Derived Allyl Sulfides on Anaerobic Sulfur Metabolism in the Mouse Kidney"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Ma\u0142gorzata","family":"Iciek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair of Medical Biochemistry, Medical College, Jagiellonian University, Kopernika 7, Krak\u00f3w 31-034, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9066-6292","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Bilska-Wilkosz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair of Medical Biochemistry, Medical College, Jagiellonian University, Kopernika 7, Krak\u00f3w 31-034, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Magdalena","family":"G\u00f3rny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair of Medical Biochemistry, Medical College, Jagiellonian University, Kopernika 7, Krak\u00f3w 31-034, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Soko\u0142owska-Je\u017cewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair of Medical Biochemistry, Medical College, Jagiellonian University, Kopernika 7, Krak\u00f3w 31-034, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Danuta","family":"Kowalczyk-Pachel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair of Medical Biochemistry, Medical College, Jagiellonian University, Kopernika 7, Krak\u00f3w 31-034, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"716S","DOI":"10.1093\/jn\/136.3.716S","article-title":"Clarifying the real bioactive constituents of garlic","volume":"136","author":"Amagase","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
