Figure 4. A-SeQDs recouple eNOS in pulmonary arteries of monocrotaline-injected mice. The experimental protocol was shown in Supplementary Figure A. At the end of experiment, mice were sacrificed under anesthesia. Pulmonary artery isolated from mice were subjected to measure NO productions in (A), ROS productions in (B), and eNOS activity in (C). All data were expressed as mean ± SEM. 10-15 mice were in each group. *P<0.05 VS Vehicle alone, #P < 0.05 VS monocrotaline alone. A one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post-hoc tests was used to produce the P values.
