The effects of signal transducer and activator of transcription three mutations on human platelets [PDF]
Platelets, 2018 Involvement of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in inflammation is well known. Recently, a role for STAT3 in platelet activation and platelet production has been suggested.

Endogenous SIRT6 in platelets negatively regulates platelet activation and thrombosis [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023 Thromboembolism resulting from platelet dysfunction constitutes a significant contributor to the development of cardiovascular disease. Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), an essential NAD+-dependent enzyme, has been linked to arterial thrombosis when absent in ...

Cyclic nucleotides and mitogen-activated protein kinases: regulation of simvastatin in platelet activation [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Science, 2010 Background 3-Hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) have been widely used to reduce cardiovascular risk. These statins (i.e., simvastatin) may exert other effects besides from their cholesterol-lowering actions ...

Eugenol: A Potential Modulator of Human Platelet Activation and Mouse Mesenteric Vascular Thrombosis via an Innovative cPLA2-NF-κB Signaling Axis [PDF]
BiomedicinesBackground: Platelets, a type of anucleated cell, play a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Therefore, targeting platelet activation is essential for mitigating CVDs.

Baseline Platelet Activation and Reactivity in Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 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
Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2022 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]
PLoS ONE, 2015 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
Platelets, 2021 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.
