Research Abstract |
We investigated the role of fibrinolyitc system in ischemic diseases. We obtained the results as follows: 1.Lack of α2-antiplasmin decreases survival ratio after acute myocardial infarction. This phenomenon is due to mainly to the alteration of vascular permeability via an over-release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as a result of the exaggerated activity of plasmin no longer tempered by α2 -antiplasmin. 2.Lack of α2-antiplasmin improves the vascular patency after endothelial injury which is mainly because of the enhancement of endothelial cell healing via an over-release of VEGF.
