Protein Z and Protein Z-dependent protease inhibitor in patients with acute ischemic stroke: A prospective mechanistic study

Protein Z (PZ) /Protein Z-dependent protease inhibitor (ZPI) (PZ/ZPI) system is a new anticoagulant system discovered in recent years, which plays an important role in many diseases. We aimed to compare the plasma PZ/ZPI levels of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients and non-stroke control participants and the role of PZ/ZPI in the development of stroke was preliminarily analyzed.
