However, there was no significant difference in uPA (boys: 780.5 ± 683.8 pg/mL versus 593.1 ± 480.5 pg/mL; girls: 430.0 ± 254.0 pg/mL versus 615.4 ± 479.7 pg/mL) and suPAR (boys: 5734.8 ± 1553.4 pg/mL versus 5814.7 ± 1666.4 pg/mL; girls: 5915.2 ± 1895.2 pg/mL versus 5785.7 ± 1774.0 pg/mL) levels in children with and without MetS in both genders. The gene discussed is PLAU; the disease is metabolic syndrome.
