Western blot analysis of MMP protein expression levels in brain capillaries exposed to glutamate (Fig. 6A)^a

Protein	Control	100 μm glutamate	+ MK801
MMP-2	100 ± 8.2	190.8 ± 6.1*	129.8 ± 6.6
MMP-9	100 ± 4.2	183.4 ± 5.3*	123.0 ± 5.8

^aData were normalized to β-actin levels; values are percentage control ± SD (n = 3).

*p < 0.05, each endpoint versus control (Dunnett's many-to-one t test).
