Pre-treatment of HGF with trisulfides and nitration Recombinant mouse HGF (carrier protein-free) was pre-treated with glutathione trisulfide (GSSSG) and lipoic acid trisulfide (LASSS) at mole ratios (HGF : trisulfide) of 1:0 (with solvent alone), 1:400, 1:1000, and 1:4000 at pH 7.4, 25C just prior to the peroxynitrite protocol (optimized at a molar ratio 1:2000 relative to HGF, pH 7.4, 37, for 30 min), which was previously demonstrated to induce maximal nitration of Y198 and Y250 located in the -chain under physiological conditions as described previously 32

For gastrointestinal indications, systemic or oral administration is appropriate because the entire gut is the target
This conversion process relies on having adequate methionine, in addition to B vitamins and the mineral sulfur
It may however take a few days or weeks (especially if addressing a B12 deficiency)
