  • Title: Fluctuations of euglobulin lysis time, tissue plasminogen activator, and free and total plasminogen activator inhibitor levels in plasma in daytime.

    Journal: Thromb Res; 1990 Jan 01; 57(1):13-20. PubMed ID: 2105539.
    Abstract:
    Blood was taken from healthy 15 males and 10 females at 9:30 h, 10:00 h and 12:30 h. The euglobulin fraction was prepared and clotted by the addition of human thrombin. The clot lysis time shortened significantly from 9:30 h to 10:00 h (p less than 0.01) and further to 12:30 h (p less than 0.01). Plasma levels of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) antigens did not change from 9:30 h to 10:00 h, but slightly and significantly to 12:30 h (p less than 0.01). Plasma levels of free plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and complex of t-PA-PAI-1 decreased from 9:30 h to 10:00 h (p less than 0.02) and to 12:30 h (p less than 0.01). Plasma levels of total PAI-1 (free plus complex) decreased from 9:30 h to 10:00 h (p less than 0.01) and to 12:30 h (p less than 0.01). These results suggest that a major factor contributing to the enhanced fibrinolytic activity of the euglobulin fraction may be a level of PAI-1 (free and total).
