Silencing RNA for MMPs May Be Utilized for Cardioprotection

Figure 5

TnI (a) and MLC1 (b) release into coronary effluents. Correlation between LDH activity and TnI (c) and MLC1 (d) release. Correlation between MMP-2 activity and TnI (e) and MLC1 (f) release into extracellular space. Correlation between MMP-9 synthesis in rat hearts and TnI (g) and MLC1 (h) release into coronary effluents. Straight line: standard curve; dotted line: 95% confidence band. Aero: aerobic control group; I/R: ischemia/reperfusion; LDH: lactate dehydrogenase; MLC1: myosin light chain 1; MMP-2: matrix metalloproteinase 2; TnI: troponin I.
