Abstract excerpt
Gender and the 4G/5G polymorphism in the plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) gene are believed to play a role in the regulation of plasma PAI-1 activity. Adipose tissue has been found to be an important source of PAI-1. The possible influence of gender and the 4G/5G polymorphism in the PAI-1 gene on PAI-1 secretion from abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue was investigated in 59 women and 32 men. The...
