Исследование Связи Матриксной Металлопротеиназы-9 И Тканевого Ингибитора Металлопротеиназы-1 С Уровнем Цинка В Различных Биосубстратах У Пациентов С Каротидным Атеросклерозом

Key Points

• To examine the relationship between matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 with zinc levels in various biosubstrates among carotid atherosclerosis patients.
• Investigated levels of matrix metalloproteinases and zinc in biosubstrates
• Analyzed samples from patients with carotid atherosclerosis
• Measured statistical correlations between metalloproteinases and zinc levels
• Found varying levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 in different biosubstrates
• Observed a correlation between zinc levels and the two metalloproteinases
• Indicated potential implications for understanding atherosclerosis processes
