Platelet aggregation response in schizophrenia and prostaglandin E1. 1983

H Kaiya, and H Imai, and Y Muramatsu, and M Nozaki, and H Fujimura, and S Adachi, and M Namba

Platelet aggregation response to various stimulants was examined in 18 unmedicated schizophrenic patients, 13 medicated patients, and 13 control subjects. Platelet aggregation response to epinephrine decreased only in unmedicated schizophrenic patients. Clinical improvement in seven patients after neuroleptic medication was significantly correlated with an increase in platelet aggregation response to arachidonic acid, and nonsignificantly to epinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin. The inhibitory effect of prostaglandin E1 on platelet aggregation response to adenosine diphosphate was investigated in seven unmedicated schizophrenic patients, six medicated patients, and eight controls. The inhibitory effect of prostaglandin E1 on platelet aggregation response to adenosine diphosphate was significantly reduced in all unmedicated schizophrenic patients. Neuroleptic medication had some effect in normalizing aberrant sensitivity to prostaglandin E1 in those patients, although acute medication induced an adverse reaction in the controls.

D008297 Male Males
D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet
D011458 Prostaglandins E (11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-Dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-en-1-oic acid (PGE(1)); (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid (PGE(2)); and (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S,17Z)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13,17-trien-1-oic acid (PGE(3)). Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities. PGE
D003094 Collagen A polypeptide substance comprising about one third of the total protein in mammalian organisms. It is the main constituent of SKIN; CONNECTIVE TISSUE; and the organic substance of bones (BONE AND BONES) and teeth (TOOTH).

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action. Hydroxytyramine,3,4-Dihydroxyphenethylamine,4-(2-Aminoethyl)-1,2-benzenediol,Dopamine Hydrochloride,Intropin,3,4 Dihydroxyphenethylamine,Hydrochloride, Dopamine
D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.
