Abstract excerpt
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are endogenous inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases that are involved in normal cellular processes and in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Our purpose was to evaluate the polymorphisms of the TIMP-3 genes for their associations with carotid plaques or with serum protein levels in the Han Chinese population. Two promoter variants, -915A/G...
