The effects of H2S on BPGM trafficking between the membrane and the cytoplasm in erythrocytes in vivo. WT and Cse-/- mice were administered with saline or GYY4137 (50 mg/kg). Blood samples were collected 24 h after treatment. RBCs were isolated for determination of cytosolic BPGM activity and membrane and cytosolic BPGM levels, as well as immunofluorescent staining of BPGM.
