Expression of matrix metalloproteinase enzymes in endometrium of women with abnormal uterine bleeding.

CONCLUSION: Lack of correlation between proMMP-2 and MMP-2 levels suggest different pathway of their activation in AUB. ProMMP-2 is up regulated by estradiol and down regulated by progesterone while MMP-2 levels increase with the length of bleeding. PMID: 29504731 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
