Thrombin-induced platelet aggregation −effect of dabigatran using automated platelet aggregometry−
Dabigatran, a direct oral thrombin inhibitor, has two therapeutic effects: anticoagulation; and antiplatelet activity. In the clinical field, evaluation of the effect of dabigatran on thrombin-induced platelet aggregation is difficult because of fibrin ...

Dabigatran and Argatroban Diametrically Modulate Thrombin Exosite Function. [PDF]
Thrombin is a highly plastic molecule whose activity and specificity are regulated by exosites 1 and 2, positively-charged domains that flank the active site. Exosite binding by substrates and cofactors regulates thrombin activity by localizing thrombin,

Thrombin-antithrombin complexes in envenomated dogs and controls.
Concentrations of thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) complexes in envenomated dogs at five timepoints after bite (black dots) and controls (green dots). T1 = presentation, T2 = 12 hours, T3 = 24 hours, T4 = 36 hours and T5 = 15 days after bite.* indicates P < 0.

Regulation and Dysregulation of Thrombin Activity
Thrombin is the enzyme of the haemostasis system that stands at the crossroads between the coagulation cascade and coagulation inhibition by protein C, between plasma coagulation factors and cells involved in haemostasis and between haemostasis and the ...

Background Thrombin generation has been shown to reflect coagulation potential and factor VIII (FVIII) levels in patients with hemophilia A. We hypothesize that thrombin generation in the presence of thrombomodulin reflects plasma FVIII levels better ...

Factor Xa or thrombin: Is thrombin a better target? [PDF]
The limitations of the vitamin K antagonists have prompted the development of new oral anticoagulants that target specific clotting enzymes. Most of the novel agents currently under development target either thrombin or factor Xa. As the final effector of blood coagulation and the most potent platelet agonist, thrombin is a logical target for new oral ...

Inhibition of thrombin, an unexplored function of retinoic acid
Retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A, is known to possess in vivo anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet and fibrinolytic activities. We have investigated the in vitro thrombin and platelet aggregation inhibitory activities of vitamin A (retinol) and its ...
