Representative light micrographs of distal small vessels of mouse’s lung (A) and the α-SMA staining (B), the vessel wall area (C), and the vessel wall thickness (D), following the group of nose-only CS exposure (CS-NO) or air control (CTL-NO) and the group of whole-body CS exposure (CS-WB) or air control (CTL-WB). Scale bar = 50 μm. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 5), *P < 0.01 for CS-NO group vs. CTL-NO group, # P < 0.01 for CS-WB group vs. CTL-WB group, & P < 0.05 for CS-NO group vs. CS-WB group.
