Preconditioning with the MMP2 and MMP9 inhibitor SB-3CT attenuates LIRI severity. a H&E staining results (200 ×) of paraffin sections of lung tissue in the sham (n = 5), IR (n = 4), and SB-IR groups (n = 3), b Lung injury scores in the sham (n = 5), IR (n = 4), and SB-IR groups (n = 3). c MPO activity in the sham (n = 5), IR (n = 4), and SB-IR groups (n = 3). d Wet/dry weight ratio of lungs in the sham (n = 5), IR (n = 4), and SB-IR groups (n = 3)
