    Abstract : Hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG) is a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), although the mechanisms behind the increased risk remain to be defined. It is unclear whether atherogenic or thrombogenic factors are involved, or a combination thereof the endothelium is important in maintaining normal vascular function and has a key role in atherogenesis.

    Keywords : plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; coronary heart disease; endothelial cells; very low density lipoprotein VLDL ; 4G 5G polymorphism; VLDL response element; fibrate compounds; VLDL receptor; stroke;

    Abstract : Impaired fibrinolytic function secondary to elevated plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activity is associated with atherothrombotic disease, in particular coronary heart disease. Both environmental and genetic factors contribute to determine plasma PAI-1 levels and PAI-1 production in vivo. READ MORE
