Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Although superficial varices of lower extremities with high morbidity are common, their etiology has not been elucidated yet. Previously, it was thought that venous hypertension was responsible for such cases by causing valvular insufficiency, but recent findings indicate that the changes in the venous wall structure might be main initiating factors. Matrix metalloproteinase enzyme-2 (MMP2) is one of...
