Effect of CSE/H2S system on aortic root lesion in UAAS mice at 10 weeks after operation. HE stained (a) and Oil Red O stained (b) aortic root lesions of mice at 10 weeks after operation (40×) showed the size of atherosclerotic plaque in the aortic root. Statistical analysis of the aortic root lesions in UAAS mice at 10 weeks after operation (c) showed that compared with UAAS group, the aortic root lesions were significantly alleviated in UAAS+NaHS mice, but deteriorated in UAAS+PPG mice at 10 weeks after operation (*P < 0.05 vs. UAAS group, and #P < 0.05 vs. UAAS group, n = 6 per group)
