Broad-spectrum MMP activity in CRC tumour (n=71), transitional (T–N; n=29) and normal tissue (n=71) determined by quenched fluorogenic substrate hydrolysis. Activity is expressed as the rate of substrate conversion on basis of protein. Horizontal bars represent median values, boxes represent the interquartile range, vertical lines represent the 10 to 90% range of the observations. *P<0.01, **P<0.001 versus normal mucosa.
