Figure 2 Correlation between matrix metalloproteinase-9 or tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 production by gastric mucosa in gastric ulcer patients (n = 63). Linear regression analysis showed a significant correlation between the two mediators (r = 0.29, P = 0.021). A significant positive correlation was observed between levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 at the ulcer site.
