Inhibitory effect of curcumin, a food spice from turmeric, on platelet-activating factor- and arachidonic acid-mediated platelet aggregation through inhibition of

Several studies in different populations have shown protective mechanisms for risk with the association of low doses of calcium plus linoleic acid by improving the balance between
thromboxane A2/prostaglandin E2, by reducing intracellular free calcium, by antagonizing the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone, by reducing the endothelial dysfunction, and by reversing the metabolic syndrome (5,6); which has not been observed with calcium supplementation alone (8).
The product is an active
thromboxane receptor antagonist, to treat aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease.
Thromboxane synthase (TXS) is an enzyme which catalyzes prostaglandin endoperoxide into
thromboxanes.
"Even a single meal high in fat and cholesterol may cause the body to release a hormone,
thromboxane, which causes the arteries to constrict and the blood to clot fasterone reason heart patients often get chest pains after eating a fatty meal," Ornish said.
Aspirin plays a crucial physiological and pathophysiological role in cardiovascular diseases and cerebrovascular diseases by irreversibly inhibiting
thromboxane A2.
Compared to smaller platelets, larger platelets have more granules, aggregate more rapidly with collagen, have higher
thromboxane A2 level, and express more glycoprotein Ib and IIb/IIIa receptors.
