Abstract

Objective: Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-3 human (TIMP3) is one of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), which binds to the components of the extracellular matrix, and has cru-cial roles in atherosclerogenesis and adipose tissue differentiation. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of TIMP3 gene expression levels on severity of atherosclerosis in different tissues.
