Thioglycollate – 72 h
ProMMP-9	100	30 (21–39)^***	58 (32–84)^*
MMP-9	100	7 (3–10)^***	24 (15–34)^**
ProMMP-2	100	99 (97–100)	96 (92–100)^*
Bioimplant – 20 h
ProMMP-9	100	86 (72–99)^*	94 (80–108)
MMP-9	100	78 (70–87)^**	85 (69–107)

Density of bands on zymographs were determined and expressed as percent of the B6 values. Values are the mean and 95 % confidence interval of 3–4 mice per strain analyzed in triplicate.

Symbols indicate P <0.05,

^**

P <0.01,

^***

P <0.001 compared to B6 determined by a t-test.
