Dose-dependent limitation of arterial enlargement by the matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor RS-113,456.
J Surg Res. 1999; (1): 122-9
Arterial diameter changes in response to flow. Chronic flow-mediated arterial enlargement may be mediated through metalloproteinase activity in the extracellular matrix of the arterial wall. We examined flow-mediated enlargement in the setting of increasing competitive matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition and with respect to gelatinase A and B expression and activity.
