Abstract
Macrophage migration is thought to participate in obesity-related cardiovascular diseases. Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) possesses proteolytic activity on the extracellular matrix (ECM), which promotes macrophage migration to the site of vascular injury. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a bioactive peptide involved in MMP expression. However, it is uncertain whether NPY can regulate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) in...
