Activity of pro−/MMP9 and pro−/MMP2 in lung tissue of lean and obese mice after BTT. Activity of Pro-MMP9, MMP9, Pro-MMP2 and MMP2 was evaluated using gelatin zymography. Lung tissue from control animals as well as 1 h, 6 h, 24 h, 72 h and 192 h post trauma were used for this analysis. Statistical significance was determined using two-way ANOVA followed by an uncorrected Fisher’s LSD test (α = 0.05). * indicates p < 0.05, ** indicates p < 0.01, *** indicates p < 0.001, **** indicates p < 0.0001. Indicators of significance directly above the bars of the diagram indicate a statistical difference to the control, while stars above the connector line show differences between the two diets at that specific time point
