How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. Megakaryocyte thromboxane production was depressed by 70% and that of platelets by 85% at two hours after 20 milligrams per kilogram oral aspirin, full megakaryocyte thromboxane recovery occurred by 72 hours and preceded complete platelet recovery by 24 hours, megakaryocyte synthesis showed substantial recovery by 36 hours while platelet recovery did not begin for 24 hours, and the authors conclude that thromboxane synthesis develops in rat megakaryocytes after approximately 48 hours of cytoplasmic differentiation toward platelet shedding.

Where it participates (unsigned role)

  1. Platelet function and prostaglandin synthesis recovered completely 26 hours after ingestion of ibuprofen but remained compromised 26 hours after taking aspirin, and when 650 milligrams of aspirin was administered after ibuprofen, platelet function and cyclooxygenase activity recovered as completely at 26 hours as in platelets exposed to ibuprofen alone, so prior exposure to ibuprofen in vivo completely protected cyclooxygenase from the irreversible effects of aspirin.

  2. In human megakaryocytic cell lines a single 10 micromolar aspirin exposure suppressed thromboxane B2 by 90% and 85% respectively with full recovery within 48 to 72 hours, selective cyclooxygenase-1 inhibition by SC-560 reduced thromboxane B2 by more than 75% whereas cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition by NS-398 had minimal effect, and repeated exposure every 24 hours produced concentration- and time-dependent suppression reaching 89% by day 2 at 1 micromolar and 73% by day 4 at 0.1 micromolar, with delayed recovery likely reflecting de novo synthesis of cyclooxygenase-1 protein.

  3. Following ingestion of 650 milligrams of acetylsalicylate as compressed tablets, platelet cyclooxygenase activity was inhibited 95% within 45 minutes, enzyme activity was observed to increase within 8 hours and reached 10% of control level by 24 hours, a pattern suggesting that only circulating platelets are affected by ingestion; enteric-coated tablets gave comparable inhibition with a delayed onset reflecting delayed appearance of acetylsalicylate in plasma, and returned to control along a similar pattern.
