Metalloproteinases (MMPs) in hypertensive disorders: role, function, pharmacology, and potential strategies to mitigate pathophysiological changes

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes that play an important role in the pathophysiology of hypertensive disorders, particularly through their involvement in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and vascular dysfunction. Their activity is closely linked to hypertension-mediated o...
