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
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play major roles in physiological extracellular matrix turnover during normal development and in pathological processes. In brain, increases in MMP activity occur, for example, in multiple sclero
