The prevalence of 4G5G polymorphism of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene in polycystic ovarian syndrome and its association with plasma PAI-1 levels.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of 4G5G polymorphism of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and its functional significance. DESIGN Case-control study. METHODS We studied 98 patients and 64 controls. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip (WHR) ratio were determined. Blood samples were obtained for DNA analysis. PAI-1 plasma levels, ser...

Objective To investigate the relationship between CRP, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) levels, PAI-1 gene promoter 4G/5G polymorphism and the type of acute myocardial infarction (ST elevation myocardial infarction, STEMI vs the non-ST elevation Myocardial infarction, NSTEMI). Methods One hundred seventy-six consecutive patients with AMI were included for the study, of whom 60 had...
متن کاملThe 4G5G polymorphism in the gene for PAI-1 and the circadian oscillation of plasma PAI-1.
Plasminogen activator inhibitor type I (PAI-1) antigen concentrations follow a circadian oscillation peaking in the morning. Some individuals show no apparent circadian rhythm, while others show up to a 10-fold variation in PAI-1 over 24 hours. Results from experimental studies suggest that a polymorphism in the promoter of the gene for PAI-1 (4G5G) directly influences the circadian expression ...
متن کاملPlasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels in breast cancer - relationship with clinical outcome.
BACKGROUND Signaling pathways triggered by increased thrombin or plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) expression drastically alter the tumor microenvironment, contributing to an adverse outcome. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of coagulation/fibrinolytic activities in breast cancer (BC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Coagulation/fibrinolytic activities were investigated in 187 ...
متن کاملassociation of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (pai-1) and angiotensin converting enzyme polymorphisms with recurrent pregnancy loss in iranian women
background: recurrent pregnancy loss (rpl) defined by two or more failed pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation. several factors play a role in rpl including thrombophilic conditions which can be influenced by gene polymorphisms. plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (pai-1) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) genes are closely related to fibrinolytic process, embryonic development and pregna...
