Abstract Objective: The importance of molecular markers as predictors of stroke risk and ischemic damage has been increasing. Various studies suggested the association of matrix metalloproteinases with destruction of the blood brain barrier, vasogenic edema, and tissue damage in cerebral ischemia. We aimed to investigate the role of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) in ischemic stroke and its association with the size and localization of the infarct.
