“…However, neutrophil elastase acts by dissociating the binding of TIMP-1 to pro-MMP-9, which allows MMP-3 to activate pro-MMP-9 to become MMP-9 [ 10 ]. Our previous study revealed that salivary MMP-9 was not correlated with lung function in COPD patients, which prompted us to confirm whether salivary MMP-3 could be a viable biomarker associated with age and body mass index (BMI) at the onset of COPD [ 11 ]. This study aimed to investigate possible correlations between degenerative variables, such as age and BMI, and the level of salivary MMP-3 and TIMP-1 in Indonesian patients with COPD.…”
