Figure 3From: Effects of hydrogen sulfide on hemodynamics, inflammatory response and oxidative stress during resuscitated hemorrhagic shock in ratsNaHS administration reduces NO production and iNOS expression in aorta and heart. (a, c) Quantification of the amplitude of NO-Fe(DETC)2 signal in unit/weight (mg of the dried sample Amplitude/Wd, n = 10) in the aorta (a) and heart (c) of the two groups of rats. (b, d) Western blots revealing iNOS expression in the in the whole lysate of aortas (n = 6) (b) and in hearts (n = 6) (d) of two groups of rats. Densitometric analysis was used to calculate normalized protein ratio (protein to β-actin). Data are expressed as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, significantly different between HS-saline and HS-NaHS groups.Back to article page
