Metalloproteinases and Brain Arterial Remodeling Among Individuals With and Those Without HIV Infection
22 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study tests the hypothesis that increased elastolytic activity is associated differentially with dolichoectasia in individuals with and those without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. METHODS: Large arteries from 84 autopsied brains from HIV-positive individuals and 78 autopsied brains from HIV-negative individuals were stained for metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), MMP-3, MMP-9, tissue...
