Article Snippet: For the Sham group, 100 μL saline was injected into the femoral artery, and all other operations were injected with sodium laurate to conduct the TAO model. For treatment, all rats received deferoxamine (DFO, 100 mg/kg, Shanghai, Sigma), Ferrostatin-1 (Fer1, 5 mg/kg, MedChemExpress, Shanghai, China), or saline intraperitoneally every two days after surgery.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4 DFO and Fer1 improved clinical symptoms, inflammation, and thrombosis in the rat TAO model. a The schedule of rat TAO model introduction and treatments. DFO and Fer1 were treated from 7 days before sodium laurate injection to the endpoint of the model. b The curve of rat weight during the TAO process (n = 7). c The level of relative blood flow of the femoral arteries in different groups (n = 7). d The representative images of blood flow and tissue gangrene on the 14 th day after sodium laurate injection (n = 3). Then the tissues were evaluated by (E) HE (100 ×) and (F) Masson staining (100 ×) of femoral arteries in the rat TAO model, the black arrows showed infiltration of red cells and lymphocytes. n = 7.
