Liposomal amphotericin B (Abelcet) can cause infusion (anaphylactoid) reactions in patients whose mechanism is poorly understood. Here, we used mice to investigate the role of complement (C) receptors and the cellular sources of vasoactive mediators in ...

Expression of thromboxane synthase and the thromboxane-prostanoid receptor in the mouse and rat retina [PDF]
Experimental models of the diabetic retina have suggested a pathological role for thromboxane. To date however, little information is available as to the cellular locations of retinal thromboxane synthase (TxS), or its receptor, even in non-diabetic controls.

Antiplatelet Effect of NQ12: a Possible Mechanism Through the Arachidonic Acid Cascade
NQ12, an antithrombotic agent, has been reported to display a potent antiplatelet activity. This study was undertaken to reveal the effect of NQ12 on rabbit platelet aggregation and signal transduction involved in the arachidonic acid (AA) cascade.

NEW ANTIPLATELET DRUGS (PART 1)
Antiplatelet agents are a necessary component of modern atherosclerosis therapy. The difficulties of antiplatelet treatment lie in the balance between the necessary therapeutic effect of the drug and the risk of excessive action leading to the bleeding ...

Activation of thromboxane A2 receptors mediates endothelial dysfunction in diabetic mice
Background: Diabetes is one of high-risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Improvement of endothelial dysfunction in diabetes reduces vascular complications. However, the underlying mechanism needs to be uncovered. This study was conducted to elucidate

Prostanoids, which include prostaglandin and thromboxane, are metabolites of arachidonic acid released in various pathophysiological conditions. They induce a range of actions mediated through their respective receptors expressed on target cells.

Nucleotides released by smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and by innervating nerve terminals activate specific P2 receptors and modulate bladder contraction. We hypothesized that cell surface enzymes regulate SMC contraction in mice bladder by controlling the ...

Mechanical and metabolic signals associated with skeletal muscle contraction stimulate the sensory endings of thin fiber muscle afferents and produce reflex increases in sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure during exercise (i.e., the exercise ...

Summary: Thromboxane prostanoid (TP) receptors play an important role in platelet activation and hemostasis. Although TP receptors undergo palmitoylation within the platelet proteome, its impact on platelet functions and the underlying mechanisms have ...
