Mixture of MMP-2, MLC, and NOS Inhibitors Affects NO Metabolism and Protects Heart from Cardiac I/R Injury

Figure 7

An effect of coadministration of doxycycline (1.0 µM), L-NAME (2 µM), and ML-7 (0.5 µM) on activity of MMP-2 in cardiac tissue (a). Correlation between MMP-2 and iNOS (b) and MMP-2 and ADMA (c). MMP-2, matrix metalloproteinase-2; iNOS, inducible nitric oxide synthase; ADMA, asymmetric dimethylarginine; I/R, ischemia/reperfusion; vs. aerobic control; # vs. I/R; mean ± SEM.
