The levels of MPO, MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the left atrium. a Mean values of the mRNA expression levels of MPO, MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the 3 groups. b Representative western blot gels depict the protein expression levels of MPO, MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-1. c Mean values of the protein expression levels of MPO, MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the 3 groups. Each bar represents the means ± standard deviation. mRNA: micro ribonucleic acid; MPO: myeloperoxidase; MMP: matrix metalloproteinase; TIMP: tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase. *P < 0.05 vs. sham group; #P < 0.05 vs. control group
