MMP‐2 activity in visceral adipose tissue. (a) Illustrative image of zymography assay of MMP‐2 activity. (b) Representative values of MMP‐2 activity in adipose tissue. Results are expressed as means and standard deviation of the mean (n = 8 per group). Different superscripts: * denotes significantly different from sham sedentary; ** denotes significantly different from ovariectomy; *** denotes significantly different from resistance training. Groups are significantly different from each other at P < 0.05. Abbreviations: Sh‐S, sham sedentary; Ovx‐S, ovariectomized sedentary; Sh‐Rt, sham resistance training; Ovx‐Rt, ovariectomized resistance training; AU, arbitrary unit.
