Table 4. Descriptive statistics of MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities in LECs and serum of steroid-induced PSC and non-steroid induced PSC.

    Mean activity (ng/µg proteins ±SD)
Cataract MMPs LECs Serum
Steroid-induced PSC (n=33) MMP-2 2.28±0.23 56.08±3.09
  MMP-9 5.96±0.20 735.97±85.35
Non-steroid PSC (n=89) MMP-2 1.62±0.13 47.29±2.31
  MMP-9 5.53±0.18 540.49±14.11

MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities differ significantly between all the groups (p<0.001, ANOVA); SD, standard deviation; n- No. of Subjects, Steroid PSC- steroid-induced posterior subcapsular cataract; PSC-posterior subcapsular cataract.
