Lipopolysaccharide induces nitric oxide synthase expression and platelet-activating factor increases nitric oxide production in human fetal membranes in culture [PDF]

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2004
Background Platelet-activating factor and nitric oxide may be involved in the initiation of human labour as inflammatory mediators. The aim of this study was to test whether platelet-activating factor and lipopolysaccharide were able to induce nitric ...

Platelet activating factor in allergies

International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2015
The platelet-activating factor (PAF) produced and released by mast cells, basophils, neutrophils, eosinophils, fibroblasts, platelets, endothelial cells, and even cardiac muscle cells plays an important role in inflammatory and thrombotic diseases. PAF has been shown to be an important mediator in anaphylaxis.

The Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor’s Association with the Outcome of Ovarian Cancer Patients and Its Experimental Inhibition by Rupatadine

Cells, 2021
The platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR) and its ligand (PAF) are important inflammatory mediators that are overexpressed in ovarian cancer. The receptor is an important player in ovarian cancer development.
