Porovnání agregace krevních destiček u zdravých dobrovolníků

Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Júlia Minarovičová Supervisor: prof. Přemysl Mladěnka, Pharm.D., Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Comparison of platelet aggregation in healthy population Platelets have an irreplaceable role in the process of aggregation. Nevertheless, their increased activity is associated with the development of many cardiovascular diseases. This process can be influenced by clinical used substances from the group of antiplatelet drugs, which differ in their effectiveness within the population. Within this study, platelet aggregation was tested using impedance aggregometry, whose principle is the change in electrical impedance between electrodes caused by the adhesion of activated platelets. Firstly, whole blood was incubated with clinically used antiplatelet drugs (ticagrelor, vorapaxar, and acetylsalicylic acid) and a flavonoid metabolite, 4-methylcatechol. Subsequently, a platelet aggregation inducer (ADP, thrombin receptor activating peptide 6 /TRAP/, collagen, arachidonic acid, ristocetin, U-46619, and platelet-activating factor /PAF/) was added, and the process was monitored for 6 minutes. The most potent inhibitor of the aggregation induced by arachidonic acid was acetylsalicylic acid in a concentration of 70 μM...
