Özet
Background and purpose: Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species play an important role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. They can activate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and MMP-2 in particular is known to mediate early consequences of oxidative stress injury in the heart. Therefore, we investigated the role of MMP-2 and the effect of the MMP inhibitor doxycycline on the changes of heart function caused by diabetes.
