The mRNA level at the AcomA (n = 6 for each group). a The mRNA expression of MMP-9 was significantly higher in methionine (MET)-treated than in control and sham-operated rats. b The MMP-9 to TIMP2 ratio was significantly higher in MET-treated than control and sham rats. c The MMP-9 to TIMP1 ratio was not significantly different between MET-treated and control rats. d. The mRNA expression of IL-6 was significantly higher in MET-treated than in control and sham rats. The mRNA levels were normalized by the GAPDH mRNA level. *p < 0.05 vs sham- and † p < 0.05 vs control rats by ANOVA followed by Scheffe’s test (mean ± SD)
