WebMMPs and their inhibitors have been previously shown in human aqueous humor and the surrounding tissues using zymographic and immunoblot techniques. 3,10,16–21 MMPs … WebThe tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP3) is known to be an anti-fibrotic factor. Arsenic, lead, and cadmium exposure and selenium intake may affect TIMP3 expression. The downregulation of TIMP3 expression is related to kidney fibrosis. Genotypes of TIMP3 are related to hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, this study explored …
