MMP-9 Concentration in Peritoneal Fluid Is a Valuable Biomarker Associated with Endotoxemia in Equine Colic

Table 5

TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 concentrations in plasma and peritoneal fluid in the groups negative (, ≤6/19 points), questionable (, 7-9/19 points), or positive (, ≥10/19 points) for sepsis; median (lower quantile–upper quantile). No significant differences.

Parameter	Negative	Questionable	Positive
TIMP-1 (ng/ml) in plasma	472.4 (289.4–765.1)	723.5 (357.7–1295.2)	907.2 (755.6–1114.3)
TIMP-1 (ng/ml) in peritoneal fluid	223.7 (180.4–272.9)	204.7 (188.1–389.2)	512.9 (448.2–1024.4)
TIMP-2 (ng/ml) in plasma	86.5 (63.9–265.0)	98.3 (0.0–139.2)	133.7 (61.2–360.2)
TIMP-2 (ng/ml) in peritoneal fluid	0.0 (0.0–30.1)	0.0 (0.0–0.0)	25.2 (0.0–285.3)
