Regulation and Dysregulation of Thrombin Activity
Southeastern European Medical Journal, 2021 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 ...

Association of Factor V Secretion with Protein Kinase B Signaling in Platelets from Horses with Atypical Equine Thrombasthenia. [PDF]
, 2015 BackgroundTwo congenital bleeding diatheses have been identified in Thoroughbred horses: Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) and a second, novel diathesis associated with abnormal platelet function in response to collagen and thrombin stimulation.Hypothesis ...

Inhibition of thrombin, an unexplored function of retinoic acid
Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2019 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 ...

The role of atrial natriuretic peptide to attenuate inflammation in a mouse skin wound and individually perfused rat mesenteric microvessels. [PDF]
, 2016 We tested the hypothesis that the anti-inflammatory actions of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) result from the modulation of leukocyte adhesion to inflamed endothelium and not solely ANP ligation of endothelial receptors to stabilize endothelial barrier

Factor Xa or thrombin: Is thrombin a better target? [PDF]
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2007 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 ...

Safety of topical thrombins: the ongoing debate
Patient Safety in Surgery, 2009 Until recently, only bovine-derived thrombin was available for use as a stand-alone topical hemostat or as a component of other hemostatic devices. Concerns over a number of case reports of immune-mediated coagulopathies associated with the use of bovine-
