Figure 3 Expression of H2S-producing enzymes in femoral tissues. (A) Representative images of CBS immunohistochemistry staining. (B) Representative images of CSE immunohistochemistry staining. (C) Representative images of 3-MST immunohistochemistry staining. (D) Scores for CBS, CSE, and 3-MST. Independent t test was used to compare scores for CBS, CSE, and 3-MST in control and osteoporosis patients. Values are expressed as mean±SD. * P<0.05 vs control. CBS – cystathionine β synthase; CSE – cystathionine γ lyase; 3-MST – 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase.
