The objective of this study was to systematically evaluate the molecular basis of the association between visceral fat mass and plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels in man. ⋯ Our PAI-1 studies show that visceral fat mass and plasma PAI-1 levels are co-correlated rather than causatively related, with lipid load as common denominator.
