What is important about increased PAI-1 levels in patients with metabolic syndrome? a. They cause increased insulin resistance. b. They increase the risk of arterial thrombosis. c. They lower the risk of hypertension. d. They predispose patients to dyslipidemia. ANS: B =ncreased PA=-1 levels increase the risk of thrombosis. They are correlated, but do not cause, insulin resistance and do not affect the relative risk of hypertension or dyslipidemia. 2. Which medication given for patients with metabolic syndrome helps to lower PAI-1 levels? a. Aspirin b. Atorvastatin c. Metformin d. Niacin ANS: C Metformin is given to reduce hyperinsulinemia and lower insulin resistance, but also lowers plasma PA=-1 levels. Aspirin is given to2 reduce M= risk. Atorvastatin helps with dyslipidemia. Niacin may be given to lower triglycerides. 3. Which findings are part of the 2009 diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome? Select all that apply. a. Decreased plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 levels b. Elevated waist circumference c. Fasting plasma glucose 100 mg/dL d. HDL cholesterol 45 mg/dL e.
