  1. LDH: Lactic dehydrogenase, ALT: Alanine aminotransferase, AST: Aspartate aminotransferase, Alb: Albumin. WT and MMP-9 KO mice were injected with saline or 4.5 mg/kg LPS for 24 h. Data are shown as mean ± SD. n = 3–7. Statistical comparisons were conducted using Student’s t-test. & p < 0.05, && p < 0.01, compared to saline group; # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, compared to WT group.
