Peripheral vasculature undergoes extensive vascular remodeling in the hypertensive state. Regulation of extracellular matrix turnover by the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) system is an important step in the vascular remodeling process. However, the expression pattern of the vascular MMP system in human hypertension remained unknown.
