doi: 10.3389/fped.2022.917179
Figure Lengend Snippet: The levels of plasmin system components in milk from extremely preterm-(EP), very preterm-(VP), and term-delivering mothers across postnatal age at sampling. (A) Plasmin activity across postnatal age; (B) human urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) across postnatal age; (C) human tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) across postnatal age; (D) human plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) across postnatal age in human milk from EP ( n = 20), VP ( n = 12), term groups ( n = 8), and combined groups (overall, n = 40). r , Spearman correlation.
Article Snippet: The concentrations of human urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), human tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), human plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), human PAI-1/uPA complex and PAI-1/tPA complex were determined using ELISA kits (IHUPAKT, IHTPAKT, IHPAIKT, IHPAIUPAKT-COM, and HPAITPAKT-COM, Innovative Research, Inc.) according to the protocols described by the manufacturer.
