FIG. 3.

Serum levels of hemostasis-related proteins after blast. Concentrations of integrin α/β (A), soluble endothelial selectin (E-selectin) (B), soluble intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) (C) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2 (D), MMP-8 (E), and MMP-13 (F) were assessed in rat serum by antibody arrays and ELISA. Please see Methods section for details. Blood was collected from overpressure (OP)-exposed rats at different shock tube setups. Data shown are mean±SEM of four to six independent experiments. *p<0.05; **p<0.005; ***p<0.001 vs. control samples.
