- Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a key role in the development of atherosclerosis and its complications. In vivo detection and quantification of MMP activation can help track the propensity to complications and response to therapy. We sought to establish an in vivo imaging approach for monitoring MMP activation in atherosclerotic mouse aorta and use it to assess the response to dietary modification.
