Statistics presented as median fold change (interquartile range) of protein level in metabolic syndrome pigs treated with extracellular vesicles (HVM, n=8) compared to control (n=6). P values calculated using Wilcoxon rank sum test. MMP-2, matrix metalloproteinase 2; TIMP2, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2, TIMP3, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 3.
