MMP14 and hyperlipidemia: That subgroup’s analyses as well as the subgroup’s without hyperlipidemia showed no significant linear relationship between MMP-14, TIMP-2, MMP-14/TIMP-2 and active MMP-2 (with hyperlipidemia p = 0.357 linear regression and p = 0.092 multiple regression; without hyperlipidemia p = 0.221 linear regression and p = 0.061 multiple regression).
