Matrix Metalloproteinases/Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases Ratio: A Biomarker of Bone Resorption in Geriatric Osteoporosis?

Background Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in bone resorption and are regulated by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). We investigated the use of MMP2/TIMP2 and MMP9/TIMP1 ratios as biomarkers of bone resorption in geriatric osteoporosis and evaluated the relatio...
