Abstract
Background and Aims : The elevated level of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in obese subjects with metabolic syndrome and in patients with type 2 diabetes is well established. A common 4G/5G single guanine insertion/deletion polymorphism in the promoter region of the PAI-1 gene is of functional importance in regulating PAI-1 expression. We aimed to study the potential different correlations of carbohydrate and lipid parameters and plasma PAI-1 levels in the 4G and 5G carriers in obese and lean subjects.
