Expression of macrophage elastase (MMP12) in rat tail intervertebral disc and growth plate after asymmetric loading

[摘要] ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to examine whether asymmetric loading influences macrophage elastase (MMP12) expression in different parts of a rat tail intervertebral disc and growth plate and if MMP12 expression is correlated with the severity of th
