abstract：:Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels were found to be associated with obesity, indicating that adipocytes might influence PAI-1 plasma levels. In addition, the 4G/5G promoter polymorphism of the PAI-1 gene possibly modulates PAI-1 gene transcription and, as a consequence, PAI-1 plasma levels. Metabolic par...
