Summary:Nitric oxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide synthesized endogenously in living organisms produce an array of disparate biological effects, so as to be considered as gas transmitters. These three gaseous molecules play important roles in many physiological and pathological processes in the bodies, such as the regulation of vascular tone and inflammatory responses as well as reproductive function. This review mainly focuses on the distribution and biological functions of these three gas transmitters in female reproductive tissues.
