Figure 2: Effect of NaHS or L-Cys on the contractile activity of human fallopian tube strips.
From: Dysregulation of hydrogen sulphide metabolism impairs oviductal transport of embryos
(a) Representative trace of NaHS or L-Cys-induced inhibition on contractile activity of human fallopian tube strips. NaHS caused a decrease in the basal tone of human fallopian tube spontaneous contractions, and this response could be completely washed out. (b) L-Cys also decreased the basal tone. (c) Summary of the changes in basal tone induced by NaHS (n=57 tissue strips from 26 women) or L-Cys (n=12 tissue strips from seven women). All data are mean±s.e.m., *P<0.05 versus control (paired t-test).
