Figure 5. Modulation of MMP expression in mice by the three garlic compounds.

Figure 5

(A) Western blot analysis was performed to detect MMP3, MMP9, MMP12, and TIMP4 protein levels in cytosolic extract of the skins of from hairless mice. (B) Blots were quantified by densitometry as percentages of the control. One-factor ANOVA was used to determine significance: # p<0.05 vs. control, *p<0.05 vs. the UVB-irradiated group; CA, caffeic acid; MMP, matrix metalloproteinase; SAC, S-allyl cysteine; TIMP4, tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease4; UVB, ultraviolet B.
