Western blot analysis of LV levels of MMP-2, -9, -13 and cardiac specific TIMP-4: The LV tissue homogenates from Sham, aortic-stenosis (AS), Sham + CZ and AS+CZ mice were analyzed for MMP-2, -9, -13 and TIMP-4 using respective antibodies. β-actin was used for equal loading; graphs represent scan data for band intensities; *p<0.05 compared to sham; ** p<0.05 compared to AS; n=6 in each group.
