Platelets are discoidal cytoplasmic particles that respond to a variety of stimuli by developing filopodia and rounding up (shape change), developing the ability to bind fibrinogen from the medium, and, with strong stimuli such as thrombin and PAF-acether, secreting the contents of several types of granules.

Baseline Platelet Activation and Reactivity in Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia. [PDF]
Patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) have a high risk to develop cardiovascular events (CVE). We hypothesized that in CLI patients platelets would display increased baseline activation and reactivity.We investigated baseline platelet activation and

C1-inhibitor influence on platelet activation by thrombin receptors agonists
Introduction Protease activated receptors 1 (PAR1) and 4 (PAR4) agonists are used to study platelet activation. Data on platelet activation are extrapolated across experimental settings.

Platelet Activation in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type-1 Patients Is Not Altered with Cocaine Abuse. [PDF]
Recent work has indicated that platelets, which are anucleate blood cells, significantly contribute to inflammatory disorders. Importantly, platelets also likely contribute to various inflammatory secondary disorders that are increasingly associated with

Zinc: an endogenous and exogenous regulator of platelet function during hemostasis and thrombosis
Zinc (Zn2+) is an essential micronutrient and the second most abundant trace metal in the human body. The important role that Zn2+ plays in hemostasis is exemplified by platelet-related bleeding phenotypes coinciding with dietary Zn2+ deficiency.

Myricetin, the main flavonoid in Syzygium cumini leaf, is a novel inhibitor of platelet thiol isomerases PDI and ERp5 [PDF]
Background: Flavonoids have been characterized as a prominent class of compounds to treat thrombotic diseases through the inhibition of thiol isomerases. Syzygium cumini is a flavonoid-rich medicinal plant that contains myricetin and gallic acid.
