Kidney MMP-8 expression and activity demonstrate biphasic changes after ischemic kidney injury. Following mice 7 days after injury, wild-type mice subjected to ischemic AKI demonstrate a MMP-8 higher expression (A) and activity (B) when normalized to sham operated controls. Standard deviation after normalization is depicted. n = 6–8 for each group. (A) *p = 0.02; (B) *p = 0.04.
