Figure 3. Increased vascular expression of and MMP-9 and MMP-12 in MRAs from diabetic db/db mice.
a. Representative immunoblots of MMP-9, MMP-12 and GAPDH expression. b. Quantification of MMP-9, MMP-12 and GAPDH protein levels in Db/db and db/db mice. Unpaired t-test: Db/db vs db/db, *p<0.05, **p<0.005, means ± SEM; n = 3 tissue lysates pooled from 12 mice for each group.
