Expressions of MMP-12, TIMP-4, and Neutrophil Elastase in PBMCs and Exhaled Breath Condensate in Patients with COPD and Their Relationships with Disease Severity and Acute Exacerbations
Objective. The purpose of this study was to compare matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12), neutrophil elastase (NE), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-4 (TIMP-4) in peripheral blood of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and controls.
