Expression of MMP2 and MMP9 in rats. Expression of MMP2 and MMP9 was similar between normal and diabetic rats. After treatment with URAS and BAPN, the expression of MMP2 increased in both groups. The elevation range of MMP2 in diabetic rats was relatively smaller. Expression of MMP9 between S + B group and DM + S + B group was similar. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001 compared with corresponding group without URAS + BAPN treatment; ###P < 0.001 compared with S + B group
