چکیده
although it is well established that women are more likely to sustain certain connective tissue injuries than men during physical activities, this difference between males and females is not clear. gelatinases degrade components of tendon tissue. thus, in this research, the effects of gender on serum gelatinases (mmp-2 and mmp-9) at rest and in response to acute endurance exercise were investigated. 15 healthy and active men and 15 healthy and active women participated in this study. subjects exercised for one hour at 70% of vo2max on an ergometer 72 hours after vo2max had been determined. two mls of antecubital vein blood was collected before, immediately after and 2 hours after the exercise. serum mmp-2 and mmp-9 were measured by elisa method. anova with repeated measures and one-way anova were used to analyze the data (p?0.05). the results showed that mmp-2 and mmp-9 at rest in men and women were not different. mmp-2 decreased in both groups immediately after the exercise while this decrease in women was not significant. serum mmp-2 did not change in both groups in response to the exercise. there was no difference in the changes of mmp-2 and mmp-9 in response to the exercise between the two groups. according to the results of this study, the gelatinases at rest and in responses to acute exercise is not an effective factor in more vulnerability of tendon tissues in women in response to the exercise. presumably, other hormonal and structural factors of women’s tendon are responsible for more injuries

Heterogeneity of serum gelatinases MMP-2 and MMP-9 isoforms and charge variants
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) gelatinase A (MMP-2) and gelatinase B (MMP-9) are mediators of brain injury in multiple sclerosis (MS) and valuable biomarkers of disease activity. We applied bidimensional zymography (2-DZ) as an extension of classic monodimensional zymography (1-DZ) to analyse the complete pattern of isoforms and post-translational modifications of both MMP-9 and MMP-2 pre...
متن کاملRole of gelatinases MMP-2 and MMP-9 in tissue remodeling following acute lung injury.
Acute lung injury is characterized by a severe disruption of alveolo-capillary structures and includes a variety of changes in lung cell populations. Evidence suggests the occurrence of rupture of the basement membranes and interstitial matrix remodeling during acute lung injury. The dynamic equilibrium of the extracellular matrix (ECM) under physiological conditions is a consequence of the bal...
متن کاملInvestigation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities in canine sera with dilated cardiomyopathy
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is accompanied by myocytes and connective tissue changes. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play important roles in cardiac remodeling. It seems that the gelatinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) are effective enzymes in cardiomyopathy. Dilated cardiomyopathy was confirmed in 22 dogs (patient group) including 11 female and 11 male by clinical examination, auscultation, thoracic ...
متن کاملEvaluation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 activity in serum and biochemical and hematological parameters in spontaneous canine cutaneous tumors before and after surgical treatment
Recently, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), in particular the gelatinases MMP-2 and MMP-9, generally considered as tumor markers for clinical applications. A longitudinal 2-years follow-up survey was performed on dogs with cutaneous tumor. Serum samples were obtained from 22 dogs with different cutaneous tumors and 22 health dogs at the time of surgery and one month, three months and one year af...
