Abstract
Objective— Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) modulates the activity of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 9, an important mediator of vascular remodeling and plaque instability in ather... NGAL protects MMP-9 from inactivation but has not been described previously in atherosclerosis. Our study shows that NGAL and its mouse homolog are increased in atherosclerosis and after myocardial...Keywords
