Abstract excerpt
We investigated whether plasma levels of the plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 antigen (PAI-1:Ag) are genetically determined in monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins. Twenty-five pairs of healthy twins underwent measurements of PAI-1:Ag and other variables, including body mass index, mean blood pressure, plasma renin activity, insulin, and glucose. To ascertain the zygosity of twins, highly...
