Short-Term Infusions of Insulin, Triacylglycerol and Glucose do not Cause Acute Increases in Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 Concentrations in Man

1. To investigate the acute effects of insulin and triacylglycerol (‘triglyceride’) on circulating plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 concentrations, seven healthy volunteers were studied during hyperinsulinaemic clamps in the presence of euglycaemia (mean glucose concentration 5 mmol/l) and hyperglycaemia (mean glucose concentration 9 mmol/l) with and without triacylglycerol infusions. 2. During euglycaemia, plasma insulin levels rose from...
