(A) Representative cropped immunoblots of MMP-2 activity in plasma samples from non-obese, obese and Post-surgery patients. Diagram bars show the result of densitometric analysis of MMP-2 activity expressed as a percentage of MMP-2 activity in the non-obese group. (B) Representative cropped immunoblots of MMP-9 activity in plasma samples from non-obese, obese and Post-surgery patients. Diagram bars show the result of densitometric analysis of MMP-9 activity expressed as a percentage of MMP-9 activity in the non-obese group. (C) Correlation between MMP-9 activity and BMI. White triangles correspond to non-obese, white circles correspond to obese and black circles correspond to Post-surgery. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of ≥ 7 determinations per group. ##p < 0.01 compared with the non-obese group. ∗p < 0.05 and ∗∗∗p < 0.001 compared with the obese group.
