Hibernating mammals may suppress their basal metabolic rate during torpor by up to 95% to reduce energy expenditure during winter, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we show that hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a ubiquitous signaling molecule, is a powerful inhibitor of respiration of liver mitochondria isolated from torpid 13-lined ground squirrels, but has a weak effect on mitochondria isolated during summer and hibernation arousals, where metabolic rate is normal. Consistent with these in vitro ef
