Aortic matrix metalloproteinase activity

Aortic matrix metalloproteinase activity is associated with aortic macrophage infiltration in mice.

“MMP activity significantly increased after Ang-II infusion and correlated with aortic macrophage infiltration.”

Older age is associated with aortic matrix metalloproteinase activity in mice.

“64Cu-RYM2 PET/CT showed significantly higher aortic MMP activation before and 1 week after Ang-II infusion in old compared to young Apoe-/- mice.”
