Lung Matrix Metalloproteinase Activation following Partial Hepatic Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats

Table 1

Serum levels of AST, ALT, LDH, creatinine, urea, and Troponin I in animals submitted to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Sham-operated group (control) has been compared with I/R group: *𝑃<0.05. These are the mean results of 32 different experiments ± S.E.M.
