Crosstalk between obesity and MMP-9 in cardiac remodelling –a cross-sectional study in apparent treatment-resistant hypertension

Crosstalk between obesity and MMP-9 in cardiac remodelling –a cross-sectional study in apparent treatment-resistant hypertension

The balance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMP) plays a key role in the development of hypertension and obesity. We aimed to evaluate the levels of MMP-2 and 9 and TIMP-2 and -1 in obese and non-obese apparent treatment-resistant hypertensive subjects (aTRH) an...
