PAF-AH plasmatic activity in patients and controls. PAF-AH plasmatic activity was markedly more elevated in the overall patients (19.8 ± 5.5 nmol/min/ml) than in BDs (p < 0.0001), but no difference occurred between aPL-positive and aPL-negative patients (19.9 ± 5.8 nmol/min/ml vs. 19.6 ± 4.7 nmol/min/ml; p = ns). LAC-positive patients disclosed higher PAF-AH than LAC-negative (22.1 ± 6.4 nmol/min/ml vs. 19.5 ± 4.1 nmol/min/ml; p = 0.0032)
