Collagenase activity progressively increased in porcine AV leaflets with increasing cyclic stretch. Activity was significantly higher at 15 and 20% cyclic stretch compared to fresh controls, static controls and 10% stretch. There was no significant difference in collagenase activity between fresh, static and 10% stretch groups (n refers to number of experimental samples).7
