Type 1 Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor

Serum Level of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type-1 in Addicted Patients ‎with Coronary Artery Disease

Background: Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a glycoprotein with inhibitory effects on the formation of plasmin from plasminogen by plasminogen activator. Thus, it prevents clot lysis in vessel walls. Several evidences prove the relationship between coronary artery disease and response to fibrinolytic therapy in patients with myocardial infarction with PAI-1 level. Opium addiction i...

Methyltetrahydrofolate Reductase C677T Mutation and 4G/5G Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 Polymorphism in a Child with Deep Vein Thrombosis

The Effects of Regular Aerobic Exercise on the serum levels of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 and Adiponectin in Obese Girls

Background: The modification of the adipokine levels can be important for the long-term prevention of systemic inflammation related to obesity in children. Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the effects of regular aerobic exercise on the serum levels of plasminogen Activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1) and Adiponectin in obese girls. Methods: This semi experimental research, 14 obese gi...

Role of tissue-type plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in psychological stress and depression

Major depressive disorder is a common illness worldwide, but the pathogenesis of the disorder remains incompletely understood. The tissue-type plasminogen activator-plasminogen proteolytic cascade is highly expressed in the brain regions involved in mood regulation and neuroplasticity. Accumulating evidence from animal and human studies suggests that tissue-type plasminogen activator and its ch...

Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 4G/5G Polymorphism Contributes to Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head Susceptibility: Evidence from a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Background: The Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 gene 4G/5G (PAI-1 4G/5G) polymorphism has been suggestedto be associated with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) susceptibility; however, the results are conflicting andinconclusive. We have carried out a comprehensive meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimation of the association.Methods: A comprehensive search in PubMed, EMBASE, Go...

Plasminogen activator inhibitor activity and other fibrinolytic variables in patients with coronary artery disease.

Several fibrinolytic variables, including plasminogen activator inhibitor activity, were studied before and after exercise in 67 normolipidaemic patients with coronary artery disease and in 25 hyperlipidaemic patients with coronary artery disease. Before exercise plasminogen activator inhibitor activity was higher in the patient groups than in a group of 10 healthy volunteers. For those who wer...
