Figure 1From: Ischemia of the lung causes extensive long-term pulmonary injury: an experimental studyMMP-2 and MMP-9 zymography. Pro MMP-9 was not measurable in any of the samples and active MMP-9 was detectable in the BALf of sham-operated and LIRI animals on day 1. Pro and active MMP-2 is expressed constitutively in all animals. BALf = Broncho-Alveolar Lavage Fluid; LIRI = Lung Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury; MMP = Matrix MetalloProteinase.Back to article page
