Metalloproteinases expression in sham-control, non-treated and treated (Adhflex, GelitaSpon and TachoSil) kidneys.

<p>(A) Chart showing the most expressive metalloproteinase; (B) ELISA MMP panel (<i>R&D Systems</i>) plates of the rat metalloproteinase in all groups; (C) Individual graphs for the most expressed metalloproteinases in all groups (control, non-treated, and Adhflex, GelitaSpon and TachoSil treated) tested at 2, 6 and 18 days post-injury. Mann-Whitney U test: (*), p<0.05 as compared to untreated animals; (‡), p<0.05 as compared to Adhf® group; (†), p<0.05 as compared to GelSp® group. Kruskal-Wallis test shows the statistical differences among four groups in each healing time period. (^ns): no significance.
