Relationship between plasma matrix metalloproteinase levels, pulmonary function, bronchodilator response, and emphysema severity
OBJECTIVE: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by chronic inflammation in the airway and lung. A protease–antiprotease imbalance has been suggested as a possible pathogenic mechanism for COPD. We evaluated the relationship between matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) levels and C...
