Fig. 5 — MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels (ng/mg protein). Total MMP-2 amounted to 6.7 ± 2.6 in the control group and 3.6 ± 1.7 in Kurozu-M group. The corresponding values for activated MMP-2 were 0.28 ± 0.12 and 0.12 ± 0.06, respectively (a). Total MMP-9 amounted to 20.6 ± 4.6 in the control group and 12.0 ± 2.7 in Kurozu-M group. The corresponding values for activated MMP-9 were 1.17 ± 0.38 and 0.51 ± 0.19, respectively (b). Total and activated MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels were all significantly (p<0.001) reduced in the Kurozu-M group compared with the control group.
