Arsenic, MMP-2/MMP-9, and Cognitive Impairment
2026-09-29
The reference study links chronic sodium arsenite exposure to cognitive impairment through MMP-2/MMP-9-associated blood-brain barrier disruption, tight-junction loss, and hippocampal neuronal apoptosis. Its doxycycline intervention provides pharmacological evidence that preserving barrier integrity may lessen arsenic-related behavioral deficits, while also highlighting important limits on causal and translational interpretation.
