Oxygen-Loaded Nanodroplets Effectively Abrogate Hypoxia Dysregulating Effects on Secretion of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 by Human Monocytes

Figure 5

Hypoxia and OLN effects on MMP-9/TIMP-1 balances upon secretion by human monocytes. MMP-9/TIMP-1 stoichiometric ratio was calculated after results from ELISA investigation (see Figures 3 and 4). Results are shown as means + SEM from three independent experiments. Data were also evaluated for significance by ANOVA: versus normoxic control cells: ; versus hypoxic control cells: .
