Two models employed for closed head and open head injuries (CHI & OHI).
Examined in situ zymography and of MMP-2, -9, ADAM-10, -17 immunohistochemistry.
In CHI, MMP-2, -9 and ADAM-17's expression increased as at 10 min post injury.
In OHI, MMP-2 and -9 increased at 24 h post injury with different topography.
A trauma-induced therapy triggered soon after a primary insult is possible.
