The intricate relationship between hydrogen sulfide (H2S), gut microbiota, and sirtuins (SIRTs) can be seen as a paradigm axis in maintaining cellular homeostasis, modulating oxidative stress, promoting mitochondrial health, which together play pivotal role aging neurodegenerative diseases. H2S, gasotransmitter synthesized endogenously by specific acts potent modulator of function protecting against damage. Through sulfate-reducing bacteria, microbiota influences systemic H2S levels, creating link health metabolic processes. Dysbiosis, or an imbalance microbial populations, alter production, impair function, increase heighten inflammation, all contributing factors diseases such Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s. Sirtuins, particularly SIRT1 SIRT3, are NAD+-dependent deacetylases that regulate biogenesis, antioxidant defense, inflammation. enhances sirtuin activity through post-translational modifications, sulfhydration, activate pathways essential for mitigating damage, reducing longevity. SIRT1, example, deacetylates NF-κB, pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, while SIRT3 modulates key enzymes to improve energy metabolism detoxify reactive oxygen species (ROS). This synergy is profoundly influenced the levels and, turn, impacts activation. microbiota–H2S–sirtuin also regulating neuroinflammation, plays central pathogenesis Pharmacological interventions, including donors sirtuin-activating compounds (STACs), promise these synergistically, providing novel therapeutic approach conditions. suggests diversity optimal have far-reaching effects on brain health.
