Right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) and mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP); (a) Assessment of the RVSP and mPAP in MCT-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) rats. RV, right ventricle; PA, pulmonary artery. b Photograph of the dissection of a rat’s neck. CCA, common carotid artery; VN, vagus nerve; ST, sympathetic trunk. c Unilateral blepharoptosis after TCST. d, e The RVSP and mPAP were significantly elevated in the MCT and MCT + sham groups, whereas this effect was attenuated by TCST. **P < 0.01 vs. control group; #P < 0.01 vs. MCT group; &P < 0.01 vs. MCT + sham group
