Fig. 6.
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and MMP-2 activity in protein extracts from paws, assessed by gelatinase zymography. The figure shows bands corresponding to MMP-9 and MMP-2 from two representative diseased paws within each group. Intervention decreased MMP activity compared to the collagen-induced arthritis group, indicated by a smaller band of degraded gelatin.
