Adiponectin diminishes platelet aggregation and sCD40L release. Potential role in the metabolic syndrome [PDF]
The proinflammatory and proatherogenic mediator, soluble CD40 ligand (CD40L), is increased in the metabolic syndrome (MS) and released from platelets. We hypothesized that adiponectin modulates platelet function, and we sought to evaluate the association

Platelet Activation and Aggregation Induced by Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus Complex
Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) is a common cause of infective endocarditis (IE). For IE-pathogens, the capacity to activate and aggregate platelets is believed to be an important virulence mechanism.

The glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonist c7E3 inhibits platelet aggregation in the presence of heparin-associated antibodies [PDF]
Purpose: Heparin-associated antibodies (HAAb), in the presence of heparin, can cause platelet activation and aggregation. The purpose of this study was to assess whether a platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist, c7E3, would inhibit ...

Effects of pentoxifylline on canine platelet aggregation
Background Pentoxifylline can decrease platelet function in humans, but the anti‐platelet effects of pentoxifylline in dogs is unknown. The addition of a luciferin–luciferase reagent during platelet aggregometry can induce a dose‐dependent potentiation ...

Agonist-induced platelet aggregation does not correlate with the varying severity of microangiopathy in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus [PDF]
We investigated agonist-induced platelet aggregation in 23 age- and sex-matched control subjects and in 74 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Platelet aggregation was measured by a particle counting method using light scattering (LS) and by a ...

Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), an oxidoreductase, possesses two vicinal cysteines in the -Cys-Gly-His-Cys-motif that either form a disulfide bridge (S–S) or exist in a sulfhydryl form (-SH), forming oxidized or reduced PDI, respectively. PDI has been
