Purpose To examine associations of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and monocyte
chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) concentrations with the severity of carotid
atherosclerosis, based on measurements of carotid plaque and intima–media thickness
(IMT). Methods This cross-sectional study included 116 stroke-free participants (45.7%
males, 54.3% females; mean age, 64.73±14.53 years). Serum MMP-9 and MCP-1
concentrations were measured, and plaque morphology, including total plaque score (PS) …
