Herbal remedies affecting coagulation: a review.
CONTEXT Herbal remedies are used to treat a large variety of diseases, including blood-related disorders. However, a number of herbal preparations have been reported to cause variations in clotting time, this is mainly by disruption of the coagulation cascade. OBJECTIVE The compiling of plants investigated for effects on the coagulation cascade. METHODS Information was withdrawn from Google...
متن کاملSerine proteases affecting blood coagulation and fibrinolysis from snake venoms.
Snake venom proteases, in addition to their contribution to the digestion of the prey, affect various physiological functions. They affect platelet aggregation, blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, complement system, blood pressure and nervous system. This review provides a ready reference for serine proteases that interfere in blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. They exhibit their activity by acti...
متن کاملProteases from Vipera lebetina venom affecting coagulation and fibrinolysis.
Our studies of the venom from the Levantine viper Vipera lebetina have demonstrated the existence of both coagulants and anticoagulants in the same venom. We showed that V. lebetina venom contains: (1) proteases that degrade fibrinogen, but not fibrin; (2) fibrinolytic enzyme (lebetase); (3) factor X activator (VLFXA); (4) factor V activator (VLFVA). Fibrinolytic enzyme and VLFXA are metallopro...
متن کاملFrom clot to collagen: coagulation peptides in interstitial lung disease.
The fragile architecture of the lung is constantly threatened by a barrage of insults originating from both air and blood interfaces. The necessity to protect our lungs has lead to the evolution of exquisite defence systems. These comprise a complex screen of antioxidants, a mucocilliary escalator which is constantly clearing the respiratory tract and sophisticated immune defence mechanisms. Wh...
متن کاملIdentification of novel loci affecting circulating chromogranins and related peptides.
Chromogranins are pro-hormone secretory proteins released from neuroendocrine cells, with effects on control of blood pressure. We conducted a genome-wide association study for plasma catestatin, the catecholamine release inhibitory peptide derived from chromogranin A (CHGA), and other CHGA- or chromogranin B (CHGB)-related peptides, in 545 US and 1252 Australian subjects. This identified loci ...
