title: [Activity of selected proteinase inhibitors in patients with disorders of lipid metabolism].
abstract: The study was aimed at verification of previously found, in animals with experimentally induced atherosclerosis, the disturbances of serum proteinases inhibitors: alpha-2-antiplasmin, alpha-1-antitrypsin and alpha-2-macroglobulin. In humans with hypercholesterolemia the decrease of serum activity of alpha-2-antiplasmin was observed. In humans with hypercholesterolemia and increased serum concentration of triacylglycerols no significant changes in activity of alpha-1-antitrypsin and alpha-2-macroglobulin were found--in comparison with control subjects.
