Platelets and cardiovascular disease
European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2002Platelets play an important, but often under-recognized role in cardiovascular disease. For example, the normal response of the platelet can be altered, either by increased pro-aggregatory stimuli or by diminished anti-aggregatory substances to produce conditions of increased platelet activation/aggregation and occur in active cardiovascular disease ...

Leukotrienes in Cardiovascular Diseases
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2000Cysteinyl-leukotrienes (cys-LTs, LTC4, LTD4,and LTE4) are potent lipid mediators, resulting from the oxidative metabolism of arachidonic acid through the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway. They are able to affect all major components of the cardiovascular system: they can constrict small and large vessels, modify cardiac and coronary functions, influence ...
