Figure 7From: Expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) in Wistar rat's intervertebral disc after experimentally induced scoliotic deformity A positive correlation between the degree of the deformity and the quantity of MMP-1 expression. MMP-1 positive disc cells in annulus fibrosus in group I, II and III were 20%, 43% and 75%, respectively A) disc from group I, B) disc from group II, C) disc from group III.Back to article page
