Abstract excerpt
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 is a major endogenous inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, which may affect the responsiveness to therapy in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. We examined whether TIMP-1 polymorphism (g.-9830T>G, rs2070584) modifies plasma MMP-9 and TIMP-1 levels and the response to antihypertensive therapy in 596 pregnant: 206 patients with preeclampsia (PE), 183...
