Abstract

Background/Objective: Obesity is a medical condition in which adipose tissue accumulates to the extent of having adverse effect on certain procaogulant factors such as: Human Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor (PAI), tissue Plasminogen Activator (t-PA) and Tissue Factor (TF) of adults in Nigeria. This study therefore aims to evaluate the impacts of obesity on PAI, t-PA, and TF in obese adult in Sapele, South-South Nigeria. Materials and Methods: 312 adults with obesity and 103 normal adults (used as controls) with age between 18 and 65 years were enrolled for this study. 4.5mls of venous blood was collected into EDTA containers for procoagulant activity measurement. Human Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor (PAI-1), Human tissue Plasminogen Activator (t-PA), and Human Tissue Factor (TF) values were determined using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) methods. Collated data was analyzed using Student’s t-test, correlation and one-way ANOVA followed by LSD post-hoc test and results were expressed as mean±standard deviation. Results: The BMI (Body Mass Index) of obese subjects and control subjects were 36.82±0.55kg/m2 and 20.43±0.29 kg/m2 respectively at p<0.001. t-PA level of obese subject was 344.34±43.58pg/ml while control group had t-PA value of 192.46±10.65pg/ml. In addition, PAI of obese people was 367.24±27.49pg/ml and control subject had PAI value of 253.37±11.11pg/ml. Human Tissue Factor (TF) of obese subject and control subjects were 93.31±7.25pg/ml and 66.59±2.76pg/ml respectively at p<0.01. Conclusion: The values of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor, tissue Plasminogen Activator, and Human Tissue Factor were higher in people with obesity when compare with non-obese control group in Sapele Southern Nigeria.
