Oxidative stress and extracellular matrices after hepatectomy and liver transplantation in rats

Figure 5 Protein expression and activities of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases. A: Actual protein expression and activities of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9; B: Normalized MMP-9; C: Normalized MMP-2; D: Normalized tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1; E: Normalized TIMP-2; F: Relative MMP-9; G: Relative MMP-2; H: Relative TIMP-1; I: Relative TIMP-2. ^aP < 0.05 vs control. NS: Not significant (P≥ 0.05); OLT: Orthotopic liver transplantation; SOLT: Split orthotopic liver transplantation.
