Pharmacologic modulation of experimental postischemic hepatic function [PDF]

, 1989
The present study, evaluated and compared the effects of SRI 63-441, a potent platelet activating factor antagonist, superoxide dismutase (SOD), an oxygen free radical scavenger, and ibuprofen, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor on hepatic function after 90 ...

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

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 ...

Hemodialysis membrane-related neutrophil dysfunctions and pentoxifylline - a pilot study [PDF]

, 1990
Hemodialysis treatment is associated with activation of neutrophil granulocytes. Pentoxifylline has been shown to inhibit neutrophil activation in vitro and in vivo.

Novel molecular analogues of phosphatidylcholines in a lipid extract from bovine brain: 1-long-chain acyl-2-short-chain acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989
A vasodepressor phospholipid fraction named Depressor-IA from a bovine brain lipid extract was analyzed by capillary gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry as tert-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives after hydrolysis with phospholipase C.

Platelets and galectins [PDF]

, 2014
A major function of platelets is keeping the vascular system intact. Platelet activation at sites of vascular injury leads to the formation of a hemostatic plug.

Protease-activated receptor 1 mediates thrombin-dependent, cell-mediated renal inflammation in crescentic glomerulonephritis. [PDF]

, 2000
Protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 is a cellular receptor for thrombin that is activated after proteolytic cleavage. The contribution of PAR-1 to inflammatory cell-mediated renal injury was assessed in murine crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN).

Production of platelet-activating factor in slugs.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
The land slug, Incilaria bilineata, was shown to contain a large amount of 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl (long chain)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, which accounts for as much as 47% of the choline glycerophospholipid fraction. Since this unique either phospholipid has
