Malondialdehyde-like material and beta-thromboglobulin plasma levels in patients suffering from transient ischemic attacks.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Beta-thromboglobulin (betaTG) and malondialdehyde-like material (MDA-LM) plasma levels were studied in patients affected by transient ischemic attacks (TIA) after 2-4 months from the last episode. BetaTG and MDA-LM values were significantly higher in TIA patients than in 20 controls matched for age. No correlation between MDA-LM and betaTG was seen. This study suggests that in vivo platelet activation and, likely, increase of platelet cyclo-oxygenase activity can be detectable in TIA patients.

We studied the effect of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) versus placebo on B-thromboglobulin (B-TG) and platelet factor 4 (PF4) plasma levels and ADP-induced platelet aggregation in 25 male patients with transient ischaemic attacks (TIA). The patients were allocated randomly to two groups: 14 patients received oral treatment with ASA 500 mg b.i.d. for 14 days, 11 patients placebo b.i.d. for the same...

Plasma malondialdehyde-like material (MDA-LM) was evaluated in 138 normal subjects and in a group of 57 stroke patients using a modification of the method of Smith et al. (1976). The basal level of MDA-LM in the control group was 35 mumol/l with a range of 22-50 mumol/l. Values above 50 mumol/l were found in 80% of the patients suffering from subarachnoid haemorrhage, in 68% of those with cereb...
متن کاملEnhanced in vivo platelet activation in subtypes of ischemic stroke.
It remains uncertain whether platelet activation in ischemic stroke is contributory or secondary to brain ischemia. The efficacy of aspirin (ASA) in stroke prevention suggests that platelet activation contributes to the occurrence of stroke. On the other hand, platelet activation may be simply a generalized consequence of cerebral ischemic damage. To examine this issue, plasma levels of the pla...

The incidence and significance of platelet activation in myocardial ischemia was evaluated by serial measurement of plasma thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and beta thromboglobulin (beta TG) in plasma and urine in 98 patients admitted to a coronary care unit with chest pain. All measurements were normal in the 26 patients with noncardiac chest pain. Mean plasma TXB2 and beta TG concentration, but not urin...
