Physiologic Role of TPO in Thrombopoiesis [PDF]
Recombinant human thrombopoietin (rHuTPO) serves as a megakaryocyte colony-stimulating factor and predominantly acts on GPIIb/IIIa+ rat late megakaryocyte progenitor cells, colony forming units-megakaryocyte (CFU-MK). The GPIIb/IIIa+ fraction of CFU-MK differentiates into mature megakaryocytes and further into proplatelets in liquid culture containing ...

Abstract The lungs have for a long time been recognised as having pharmacological significance as a specific organ to modulate the pharmacokinetics of endogenous substances needed to maintain homeostasis. The lungs are therefore the site of action of certain drugs that act on these homeostatic processes, resulting in systemic effects on the ...

Effect of simvastatin on thrombopoiesis in porcine bone marrow
Introduction: Statins are pharmacological agents commonly used to lower serum cholesterol level. The aim of the experiment was to investigate the effect of the statin simvastatin on thrombopoiesis in the porcine model because it is the closest to the ...

Chia seed oil ameliorates obesity, dyslipidemia, and hepatorenal dysfunction in high‐fat diet–fed mice. ABSTRACT Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.) are recognized as a functional food with a nutrient‐dense profile and health‐promoting properties. In the present study, hexane‐extracted chia seed oil was investigated for anti‐obesity, hematoprotective, and
