Effects of CSE/H2S system on the phosphorylation level of Akt in mouse aorta. The phosphorylation level of Akt in control, sham, UAAS, UAAS+L-cys, UAAS+NaHS and UAAS+PPG group. (a) The protein contents in mouse aorta were tested by Western blot; (b) Quantitative analysis showed that Akt phosphorylation in UAAS group decreased significantly compared with sham group (*P < 0.05 vs. sham group, n = 6 per group). L-cys or NaHS injection could suppress the degradation of Akt phosphorylation, but PPG treatment resulted in more decrease in the Akt phosphorylation (#P < 0.05 vs. UAAS group, n = 6 per group)
