Fig 5. Effect of APN on TIMP-1 blood levels in control animals or PQ-exposed animals, treated with vehicle or APN.

Fig 5

PQ (10 mg/kg, IP) increased, whereas APN (100 μg/kg or 500μg/kg, IV) reversed, TIMP-1 levels at 3, 7, 14and 21 d after PQ injection. TIMP-1 levels were determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Values represent the mean ± standard error of the mean of four parallel measurements. *P<0.05. APN, adiponectin; TIMP-1, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1; PQ, paraquat.
