The involvement of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 in rat retinal ischemia
2007
Background
The involvement of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in ischemic tissue damage and remodeling has been reported by many investigators. Our study was designed to investigate the involvement of MMPs and of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in rat retinal ischemic injury, the effect of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors on MMPs’ activity in this model and whether minocycline (an MMP inhibitor) is protective in retinal ischemia.
