Changes in the activity of tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs) in the atrial samples at 4 days after surgery. (A) A representative reverse gelatin zymogram is shown. Dark bands indicate undigested gelatin stained with Coomassie blue, representing the zones of gelatinase inhibition. The migration positions of TIMP-2 and glycosylated TIMP-3 are indicated. Molecular mass markers (M) are indicated. (B) Quantification of reverse gelatin zymography. The data are presented as relative densitometric units.**P<0.01 vs. Sham; ##P<0.01 vs. IgG2a control. Sham, sham-operated rats; SP, rats with sterile pericarditis.
