Expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 in ulcerative colitis

Table 2 Expression of TIMP-1 mRNA in samples from different areas of colon in UC (mean±SD)

Samples	TIMP-1	P value
Ulcerated area	0.8512 ± 0.4169	< 0.001bd
Inflamed area	0.7493 ± 0.3505	< 0.05ace
Non-inflamed area	0.4434 ± 0.3360	> 0.05
Normal control	0.3903 ± 0.2971

^bP < 0.001 vs normal controls,

^dP < 0.001 vs non-inflamed area,

^aP < 0.05 vs normal controls,

^cP < 0.05 vs non-inflamed area,

^eP < 0.05 vs ulcerated area.
