## Background: The balance between matrix metalloproteinases (mmp) and the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (timp) has been seen as important during tumor invasion and progression. the determination of these components needs a special strategy of tissue preparation. this analytical problem h
We analyzed blood plasma concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase-1 and -3 (MMP-1; MMP-3), the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and the complex MMP-1/ TIMP-1, and looked for any correlation with prostate cancer stage. These components were measured by ELISA tests specific for these
