Ang II may impair vascular fibrinolysis via PAI induction; leaves open relevance to human disease progression.
Does Angiotensin II induce plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and -2 expression in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells?
Angiotensin II induces PAI-1 and PAI-2 expression in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells, suggesting a mechanism by which it regulates vascular plasminogen activation.
Feener et al. (1995) studied this question.
