MMP activity in the liver.

	Tumors		Nontumoral part of the liver
	Solvent (n = 4)	Halofuginone (n = 5)	Solvent (n = 4)	Halofuginone (n = 5)
MMP-9	1437 ± 160	534 ± 381*	1249 ± 267	134 ± 47*
Total MMP-2	444 ± 87	468 ± 215	415 ± 76	60 ± 21*
Active MMP-2 (%)	38.3 ±2.3	15.0 ±12.6*	28.8 ± 4.5	2.8 ± 6.2*

MMP activity was measured with gelatin zymography in liver samples from animals surviving up to week 24.

Values are in arbitrary units and are presented as mean ± 1 SD.
