Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is the main physiological inhibitor of tissue-type (t-PA) and urokinase-type (u-PA) plasminogen activator. Recent studies in murine models have yielded apparently conflicting data on a potential role of PAI-1 in adipose tissue development and obesity. To reinvestigate this issue, we have rederived PAI-1 deficient (PAI-1(-/-)) and wild-type (WT) mice and generated true...
