Expression of matrix metalloproteinase enzymes in endometrium of women with abnormal uterine bleeding.
OBJECTIVES: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is caused by derangement of physiological processes of tissue growth, shedding and regeneration. It is known that interplay between metalloproteinases (MMP's) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP's) may play a crucial role in its occurrence. AIM: To define if expressio.....
