Intracerebroventricular Administration of an Endothelin ETB-Receptor Agonist Increases Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and -9 in Rat Brain
Abstract.: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of zinc-endopeptidases, have a critical role in the pathophysiological responses in damaged brains. MMPs are up-regulated in brain pathologies. To clarify the extracellular signals involved in brain MMP production, the effects of endothelins (ETs...
