Aim： To study the effects of hydrogen sulfide （H2S） on the left ventricular expression of MMP-8, MMP-13, and TIMP-1 in a rat model of congenital heart disease. Methods： Male SD rats underwent abdominal aorta-inferior vena cava shunt operation. H2S donor NariS （56 μmol.kg-1.d-1, ip） was injected from...
