Biomechanical testing results of denucleated, de-cellularized motion segments subjected to 24 h MMP-1 digestion while placed in tension or remaining slack. Ultimate tensile force (a) and stiffness (b) decreased for specimens that were digested in MMP-1 solution compared with controls. Slack specimens exhibited trends of greater decreases than tension specimens. Data are represented as mean ± SEM
