  2. Antiplatelet drug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiplatelet_drug

    Antiplatelet therapy with one or more of these drugs decreases the ability of blood clots to form by interfering with the platelet activation process in primary hemostasis. Antiplatelet drugs can reversibly or irreversibly inhibit the process involved in platelet activation resulting in decreased tendency of platelets to adhere to one another ...

  3. Metformin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metformin

    Metformin inhibits cyclic AMP production, blocking the action of glucagon, and thereby reducing fasting glucose levels. [117] Metformin also induces a profound shift in the faecal microbial community profile in diabetic mice, and this may contribute to its mode of action possibly through an effect on glucagon-like peptide-1 secretion.

  4. Coagulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation

    Coagulation, also known as clotting, is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot.It results in hemostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair.

  5. Hemostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemostasis

    Platelet plug formation: Platelets adhere to damaged endothelium to form a platelet plug (primary hemostasis) and then degranulate. This process is regulated through thromboregulation. Plug formation is activated by a glycoprotein called von Willebrand factor (vWF), which is found in plasma. Platelets play one of major roles in the hemostatic ...

    Activation of platelets and the subsequent aggregation of platelets has a crucial role maintaining normal haemostasis. Disturbance in this system can lead to cerebrovascular, cardiovascular and peripheral vascular diseases where it can lead to a stroke, unstable angina and myocardial infarction. When a vessel is damaged ADP is released from ...

    Prostacyclin, which has a half-life of 42 seconds, [9] is broken down into 6-keto-PGF 1, which is a much weaker vasodilator.A way to stabilize prostacyclin in its active form, especially during drug delivery, is to prepare prostacyclin in alkaline buffer.
