Sesamol Attenuates Isoproterenol-induced Acute Myocardial Infarction via Inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and -9 Expression in Rats

Abstract

Sesamol effectively prevented myocardial infarction, at least in part, by controlling proteolytic activities and the expression of MMP-2 and -9 in isoproterenol-treated rats.
