摘要: We examined the metalloproteinase activity from normal and keratoconus corneal extracts. No differences were detected in total amount of or its physical form activation. However, there was a significant elevation enzymatic extracts after chemical modification inhibitory elements. This suggests either difference capabilities corneas or, as suggested previously, decrease TIMP (tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase) present tissue.
