MMP-3 gene expression in each group. There was a statistically significant increase in mRNA gene expression of MMP-3 in the HIR group compared to the SED group. A decrease in mRNA expression of MMP-3 was found after the treatment with MMP-3 inhibitor with a statistical difference only in the HIRI2 group. * P < 0.05 compared to SED group; # P < 0.05 compared to HIR group.
