Plasma matrix metalloproteinase-9 levels, MMP-9 gene haplotypes, and cardiovascular risk in obese subjects
(2016-06-01)
Plasma matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 is a predictor of cardiovascular mortality, and MMP-9 polymorphisms affect plasma MMP-9 levels. However, no study examined whether MMP-9 haplotypes affect MMP-9 levels in obese adults. ...
Associação entre polimorfismos funcionais nos genes da MMP-7 e MMP-9 e o perfil clinicopatológico do carcinoma epidermóide de língua
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do NorteBRUFRNPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Patologia OralOdontologia, 2010-02-18)
Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) and -9 (MMP-9) modulate important functions strictly related to the development, invasion and metastasis of several human cancers among them the squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue ...
Mating induces production of MMP2 in the llama oviduct: Analysis of MMP2 effect on semen
(Elsevier Science, 2018-05)
Ovulation of South American Camelids is induced by mating. After copulation, sperm are stored into the oviduct to be released near ovulation time. To study whether copulation induces matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) ...
Association between matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 polymorphisms and MMP-2 levels in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCESAN DIEGO, 2012)
We examined whether two functional polymorphisms (g.-1306 C> T and g.-735 C>T) in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 gene are associated with preeclampsia (PE) or gestational hypertension (GH), and whether they modify ...
Cadmium exposure inhibits MMP2 and MMP9 activities in the prostate and testis
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-02-20)
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc (Zn2+) and calcium (Ca2+) dependant endopeptidases, capable of degradation of numerous components of the extracellular matrix. Cadmium (Cd2+) is a well known environmental contaminant ...
Reduced levels of potential circulating biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases in apparently healthy vegetarian men
(2016-10-01)
Background Several evidences report that a vegetarian diet is protector against cardiovascular diseases. Few studies have demonstrated the circulating profile of cardiovascular biomarkers in vegetarians. Therefore, the ...
Involvement of MT1-MMP and TIMP-2 in human periodontal disease
(John Wiley, 2010)
OBJECTIVES: Periodontal disease is characterized by an
increased collagen metabolism. Although membrane
type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) plays a
critical role in collagen degradation, its involvement in
human ...
