MMP production measured in BALf by zymography. On day 1, significant more pro-, and active MMP-2 and active MMP-9 was found in the BALf of LIRI animals as compared to sham-operated and unoperated controls. BALf = Broncho-Alveolar Lavage Fluid; LIRI = Lung Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury; MMP = Matrix MetalloProteinase. U = P < 0.05 versus unoperated animals. Sx-y = P < 0.05 versus sham-operated animals from day x until day y. Lx-y = P < 0.05 versus LIRI animals from day x until day y
