Cinnamon inhibits platelet function and improves cardiovascular system
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Cinnamon belongs to the Lauraceae family and is one of the most common spices that are used as traditional medicine in the world. The bark and leaf of cinnamon contain essential oils and derivatives including cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid and several other compounds such as polyphenols. Moreover, anti-inflammatory and lipid lowering properties of cinnamon has been proven. Objective: The goal of this review is to find out whether cinnamon extract was used as an anticoagulant and anti-aggregation properties for the platelets or not. Methods: Using the search engine tools such as PubMed and Scopus, the articles that were studied cinnamon and its effects on platelets function and cardiovascular disease were under reviewed. Results: This article presents a comprehensive analysis of cinnamon compounds and their effects on platelet function and cardiovascular disease. Conclusion: Taken together, data show that cinnamon extract can inhibit platelet function and as a complementary medicine were used in cardiovascular disorder.

Platelet function testing in cardiovascular diseases.
Case presentation 1: Mr F. is a 60-year-old man with unstable angina who takes aspirin, 81 mg/day. A platelet function test demonstrates that his platelets are “resistant” to aspirin. Should his treatment be changed? Case presentation 2: Mr K. is a 60year-old man with unstable angina who takes aspirin, 81 mg/day, and clopidogrel, 75 mg/day. A platelet function test demonstrates that his platele...

Carnitine is a physiological cellular constituent that favors intracellular fatty acid transport, whose role on platelet function and O(2) free radicals has not been fully investigated. The aim of this study was to seek whether carnitine interferes with arachidonic acid metabolism and platelet function. Carnitine (10-50 microM) was able to dose dependently inhibit arachidonic acid incorporation...
full textPolyphenols and cardiovascular disease: effects on endothelial and platelet function.
Epidemiologic studies suggest that higher polyphenol intake from fruits and vegetables is associated with decreased risk for cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms explaining this observation remain unclear. This review summarizes data suggesting that flavonoids improve endothelial function and inhibit platelet aggregation in humans. The vascular endothelium is a critical regulator of vascular ...

BACKGROUND Emphysema is a progressive disease characterized by irreversible airspace enlargement followed by a decline in lung function. It also causes extrapulmonary effects, such as loss of body mass and cor pulmonale, which are associated with shorter survival and worse clinical outcomes. Ghrelin, a growth-hormone secretagogue, stimulates muscle anabolism, has anti-inflammatory effects, prom...
