Detection of Matrix Metalloproteinases in the Heart of Preterm Rats
The influence of preterm birth on the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP2 and MMP9) in the wall of the left ventricle of the rat heart in the early postnatal period of ontogenesis (up to 21 days) was studied. The hearts of preterm (gestation duration 21 and 21.5 days) and term (gestation d...

Summary: | The influence of preterm birth on the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP2 and MMP9) in the wall of the left ventricle of the rat heart in the early postnatal period of ontogenesis (up to 21 days) was studied. The hearts of preterm (gestation duration 21 and 21.5 days) and term (gestation duration 22 days) Wistar rats on days 7 and 21 of the postnatal period of ontogenesis were studied immunohistochemically in the experiment. Preterm birth has no effect on the pattern of immunohistochemical staining of MMP2 in the wall of the left ventricle of rats, while the content of MMP9 decreases by day 7 and increases by day 21 of the postnatal period of ontogenesis, compared with that of term rats. |
