Figure 6. Differential MMP-9 and NE activity and altered GS responses in vivo.

(A) BALF neutrophil numbers were determined from treatment groups as detailed in Figure 5 legend. BALF was retained and (B) NE activity and (C) MMP-9 expression (Insert: representative zymography results) was determined as detailed in methods (C) δ Two-way ANOVA (Sal versus Dex, p<0.05). # One-way ANOVA (versus VEH, p<0.05). The data was pooled from 2 separate experiments (n = 5–10 mice per treatment group).
