Increased blood-brain barrier permeability and altered tight junctions in experimental diabetes in the rat : contribution of hyperglycaemia and matrix metalloproteinases

Although diabetes mellitus is associated with peripheral microvascular complications and increased risk of neurological events, the mechanisms by which diabetes disrupts the blood-brain barrier (BBB) are not known. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity is increased in diabetic patients, is associa...
