Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 Enhances the Free Fatty Acids-Induced VEGF Expression in Adipocytes Through Toll-Like Receptor 2

Infiltrated macrophages (Mϕ) are believed to cause pathological changes in the surrounding adipocytes through the secretion of active molecules in visceral fat. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 is secreted from Mϕ, and enhances expression of the inflammatory cytokines through the activation of toll-...
