Some fibrinolytic properties of the human arteries and veins walls. 1986

L Donner, and L Vodáková

The plasminogen activator of normal and atherosclerotic different arteries was studied with the histochemical method of Todd. An increase of plasminogen activator in atherosclerotic arteries of adventitia was found. The inhibition of plasmin fibrinolysis of intima-media and adventitia of normal and atherosclerotic different arteries was studied by means of the slide sandwich technique according to Noordhoek Hegt. In atherosclerotic arteries there was an increase of plasmin inhibitory activity of the intima-media layer in comparison with normal arteries. The mean plasmin inhibitory activity was higher in the vein wall of lower part of the body than in the higher one.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010960 Plasminogen Activators A heterogeneous group of proteolytic enzymes that convert PLASMINOGEN to FIBRINOLYSIN. They are concentrated in the lysosomes of most cells and in the vascular endothelium, particularly in the vessels of the microcirculation. Extrinsic Plasminogen Activators,Plasminogen Activator,Uterine-Tissue Plasminogen Activator,Uterine Tissue Plasminogen Activator
D005341 Fibrinolysin A product of the lysis of plasminogen (profibrinolysin) by PLASMINOGEN activators. It is composed of two polypeptide chains, light (B) and heavy (A), with a molecular weight of 75,000. It is the major proteolytic enzyme involved in blood clot retraction or the lysis of fibrin and quickly inactivated by antiplasmins.
