Abstract excerpt
The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) pathway may be implicated in etiopathogenesis of PAI-1 overexpression during obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of polymorphism A36G of the TNF receptor 1 (TNFRSF1A +36A/G) on plasma concentrations of PAI-1 in 163 obese (31 with the metabolic syndrome, MetS) and 150 lean, healthy women. Genotypic and allele frequencies did not significantly differ...
