In 13 type II hyperlipidemics (10 males and 3 females; mean age 50.2 +/- 10.6 years), in 10 type IV hyperlipidemics (7 males and 3 females; mean age 51 +/- 13.3 years) and in 23 healthy age- and sex-matched controls, the following parameters were measured: plasma cholesterol; plasma TG; plasma C-HDL; VLDL, separated in a preparative ultracentrifuge; C-LDL; Apo B, with immunoelectrophoretic method; platelet sensitivity to prostacyclin; TXB2 formation in PRP; TXB2 in serum. This study provides evidence for: 1. Reduced platelet sensitivity to prostacyclin, more evident in type II hyperlipidemia that provides an additional mechanism involved in increased platelet aggregation found in type II hyperlipidemia. 2. Enhanced TXB2 formation in PRP after thrombin stimulation (664.65 +/- 142.18 pmol/10(8) platelets) only in type II hyperlipidemics and such enhanced formation was positively correlated to C-LDL (r = 0.53; p less than 0.05) and to Apo B (r = 0.62; p less than 0.05); serum TXB2 formation rate was also increased in type II hyperlipidemia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006953 Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IV A hypertriglyceridemia disorder, often with autosomal dominant inheritance. It is characterized by the persistent elevations of plasma TRIGLYCERIDES, endogenously synthesized and contained predominantly in VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS (pre-beta lipoproteins). In contrast, the plasma CHOLESTEROL and PHOSPHOLIPIDS usually remain within normal limits.

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
D011453 Prostaglandins A group of compounds derived from unsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, via the cyclooxygenase pathway. They are extremely potent mediators of a diverse group of physiological processes. Prostaglandin,Prostanoid,Prostanoids
D011464 Epoprostenol A prostaglandin that is a powerful vasodilator and inhibits platelet aggregation. It is biosynthesized enzymatically from PROSTAGLANDIN ENDOPEROXIDES in human vascular tissue. The sodium salt has been also used to treat primary pulmonary hypertension (HYPERTENSION, PULMONARY).
