Fig. 1. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) could ameliorate hypothyroidism-induced myocardial fibrosis and dysfunction. (A, B) Results of Masson staining in myocardial tissue among four groups. The red part represents the arrangement of myocardial tissue, and the blue part represents myocardial collagen deposition (A: magnification ×40). (C) Cardiac function was evaluated by M-mode echocardiography (a: Control group, b: PTU group, c: PTU+H₂S group, d: H₂S group). PTU, propylthiouracil. *p < 0.05 compared with Control group; ^#p < 0.05 compared with PTU group.
