Inhibiting Matrix Metalloproteinases Protects Evoked Electromyography Amplitudes and Muscle Tension in the Orbicularis Oris Muscle in a Rat Model of Facial Nerve Injury
Facial nerve injury results in degradation of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and blocks neurotransmission between the pre- and postsynaptic structures, which are separated by a synaptic cleft. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), enzymes that degrade and modify the extracellular matrix, play critical...
