Plasma matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of MMPs and aging and lifelong exercise adaptations in ventricular and arterial stiffness.

In conclusion, there was not a clear or consistent difference in plasma MMPs and TIMPs with lifelong exercise dose despite exhibiting lower cardiovascular stiffness at the highest exercise levels. PMID: 31095969 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
