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

Protein	Control	100 μm glutamate	+ ATK
MMP-2	100 ± 3.3	174.4 ± 8.0*	109.5 ± 5.2
MMP-9	100 ± 2.8	174.1 ± 3.2*	108.3 ± 2.6

^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).
