Plasma tissue-type plasminogen activator(tPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor(PAI-1) and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] in 133 healthy subjects were determined. The results demonstrated that PAI-1 activity was higher in Lp(a) > or = 0.3 g.L-1 group than Lp(a) < 0.3 g.L-1 group (P < 0.05). Univariate statistical analyses showed Lp(a) concentration was positively associated with PAI-1 activity (P < 0.01), but not with age, sex, body mass index, blood lipids or tPA activity.
