| The affect of Vitamin E on platelet aggregation in vitro does not appear to be reproducible in vivo. | |
24 Citations | Thus, the magnitude of the arachidonate-induced increase in platelet cyclic AMP levels can account for the inhibition of aggregation and release. |
23 Citations | The platelet aggregation in the presence of several inducers examined in persons aged 36–60 years confirms an age-dependent increase in platelet aggregation. |
58 Citations | There is now an increasing body of research that suggests that consuming flavanol-rich foods can positively affect hemostasis, through mechanisms that either directly affect platelet function or increase certain endothelium-derived factors that maintain platelet acquiescence or increase fibrinolysis. |
| Studies of platelet aggregation that show no initial increase in turbidity must be characterized by dominance of large platelet aggregates and monomeric platelets. | |
| In particular, eltrombopag and romiplostim safely increase and maintain platelet production in patients with refractory disease. | |
| They may for instance increase the platelet GPx activity, an effect that can be prevented by antioxidants. | |
| Taken together, our data showed that platelet count was significantly lower in varicocele patients than in healthy subjects. | |
| This does not, however, appear to influence ex vivo platelet responsiveness to AVP. | |
| Thus, turbidity can either increase or decrease with platelet aggregation depending on the size of the aggregates. | |
| Studies have shown the benefits of avocado associated to a balanced diet, especially in reducing cholesterol and preventing cardiovascular diseases. | |
22 Citations | Platelet count and plateletcrit could be used as markers of disease severity. |
| This way, avocado plays an important role in the cardiovascular health. | |
| This is the first record of such an effect for avocado. | |
| The study demonstrated that this method meets the criteria for a reference platelet count. |
