Abstract excerpt
In the present study we investigated the influence of the 4G/5G promoter polymorphism of the PAI-1 gene on the levels of PAI-1 mRNA and protein in platelets. After a screening of healthy male subjects, thirty-eight subjects homozygote for either the 4G or 5G allele were investigated. mRNA levels were quantified by real-time PCR and PAI-1 antigen in platelets and plasma was analysed by ELISA. The platelet PAI-1...
