Effect of H 2 S on the swelling of lung mitochondria in rats. The swelling extent of the mitochondria was significantly increased (the OD540 value was significantly decreased) in the LPS injury group compared with the control group (P < 0.01). In LPS + low-dose NaHS group, LPS + middle-dose NaHS group and LPS + high-dose NaHS group, the swelling of the mitochondria was markedly decreased (the OD540 value was significantly increased) with the LPS injury group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). **P < 0.01 vs control; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 vs LPS.control: control group. LPS: LPS injury group.LPS+ NaHS L: LPS + low-dose NaHS group.LPS+ NaHS M: LPS + middle-dose NaHS group.LPS+ NaHS H: LPS + high-dose NaHS group.
