Association of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and tissue plasminogen activator with type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome in Malaysian subjects

Abstract: BackgroundIncreased plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activity and decreased tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) activity could be considered a true component of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and fibrinolytic abnormalities. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of tPA and its inhibitor PAI-1 with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and MetS and interrelationship between PAI-1and tPA activities and antigens in Malay… Show more

“…Visceral adipose tissue has been shown to increase PAI-1 secretion [33]. In a cross-sectional study, both tPA and PAI-1 activities and antigens were associated with metabolic syndrome parameters in patients with or without T2DM [34]. However, the association found in this study was independent of BMI and other components of the metabolic syndrome.…”

“…(1,2) The constellation of these metabolic abnormalities known as a metabolic syndrome (MetS) or insulin resistance syndrome increases the risk of T2D and CVD. The number of individuals with the MetS has increased globally during the past two decades, and this increase is associated with the worldwide epidemic of obesity and diabetes.…”
