The role of H2S signaling in endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation (a, b) and adrenergic contraction (c, d) of isolated thoracic aorta in female Wistar and HTG rats. W Wistar female rats, HTG hereditary hypertriglyceridemic female rats, A– perivascular adipose tissue denuded rings, A + perivascular adipose tissue preserved rings, BSC– rings without incubation with H2S scavenger (bismuth(III) subsalicylate), BSC+ rings incubated with H2S scavenger (bismuth(III) subsalicylate). The results are presented as the mean ± S.E.M., and differences between groups were analyzed by three-way ANOVA. ***p < 0.001 vs W A + BSC + , c: ++p < 0.01 vs HTG A- BSC + , d: ++p < 0.01 vs HTG A + BSC +
