Densitometric analysis of the expression of hydrogen sulfide producing enzymes (CBS, CSE and 3-MST) in heart, lung, liver and kidney samples. Data (mean±S.E.M. of n=3 determinations per group) are shown as CLP densitometry units, as percent of corresponding sham control values.
p<0.05 shows significantly higher expression of the indicated enzyme after CLP, when compared to the expression level in normal (sham operated) animals.
