The importance of defining serum MMP-9 concentration in diabetics as an early marker of the rupture of atheromatous plaque in acute coronary syndrome.

UNLABELLED
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the main cause of mortality in diabetics. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in diabetics is much more often than in non-diabetics. MMP-9 activity could ease the formation of atherosclerosis, destabilization and plaque rupture as well as thrombocyte aggregation.


THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO EXAMINE
MMP-9 defining in serum in diabetics; the impact of diabetes mellitus on atherosclerosis and MMP-9 level; relation between serum values of MMP-9 and markers of glycoregulation and lipid status, respectively.


RESULTS
The greatest concentration of both total and active MMP-9 serum has been noted in diabetics group with ACS. Both total and active MMP-9 values, in group with diabetes and ACS showed significantly important difference regarding the values in control group. Total and active MMP-9 showed statistically important correlation between the values of glycated hemoglobine A1c (HbA1c) and inverse correlations with values of subfraction HDL3.Active MMP-9 showed statistically important inverse correlation with value of HDL cholesterol.


IN CONCLUSION
According to the results, it has been thought that active MMP-9 shows a certain degree of atherosclerotic changes on blood vessels better than total MMP-9. MMP-9, active one, could present an early marker of atherosclerosis, especially on coronary blood vessels, in diabetics with type 2.
