Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) constitute an endopeptidase family involved in various physiological and pathological processes. It was demonstrated that plasma MMP-9 level was increased in patients with acute ischemic stroke. In this study, it was investigated whether there was a relationship between the levels of plasma MMP-9 and the severity of stroke and infarct volume in patients with acute ischemic stroke. A total of 32 patients with acute ischemic stroke, (16 males and 16 females) and 30 healthy controls were included in the study. Plasma MMP-9 levels were measured using ELISA method. Computed tomography was performed at 48th hour and infarct volume was calculated using the Cavalieri method. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was checked at baseline, 12, 24, and 48th hour. Plasma MMP-9 levels of the patient group at baseline, 12, 24, and 48th hour were found significantly higher compared to the control group (p < 0.05). An important correlation between MMP-9 levels and the infarct volume was observed at baseline, 12, 24, and 48th hour (p < 0.001). Furthermore, a positive correlation was recorded between plasma MMP-9 levels and NIHSS scores at baseline, 12, 24, and 48th hour (p < 0.001). Plasma MMP-9 le...Continue Reading
