- Abstract
Serum matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-8, MMP-7) and their regulators may be associated with the risk of incident cardiovascular disease events. Doxycycline can be used as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor independent of its antimicrobial activity. We aimed to investigate serum inflammatory biomarkers during 4 months of doxycycline therapy in coronary bypass patients.
