Highlights
- •Epilepsy patients have lower serum MMP-3 levels than healthy controls.
- •Serum MMP-3 concentrations were significantly higher in males than in females.
- •Serum MMP-3 levels were significantly increased as a function of age.
- •Serum MMP-3 may be a potential biomarker for epilepsy if age and gender were considered.
