This study has evaluated whether systemic changes of plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) parallel the adhesions development and whether they could be used as predictors of adhesion risk. This has been studied in an animal model of post-surgical peritoneal adhes...
