The concentrations of angiotensin II, hydroxyproline, matrix metalloproteinase 2, MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 in myocardium or serum were determined. |
Biochemical markers of metastasis such as lung hydroxyproline, uronic acid, serum sialic acid and gammaglutamyl transpeptidase were estimated. |
Data are expressed as micrograms of hydroxyproline per milligram dry weight. |
Also, increased blood circulation and hydroxyproline levels have been observed at the application sites. |
The right lung was then carefully liberated from major bronchi and vessels, homogenized, and stored for analysis of hydroxyproline content. |
