Studies investigating atherothrombotic risk in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), in particular platelet function and carotid intima-media wall thickness (cIMT), have been confounded by not adequately accounting for obesity. Liraglutide is... Read More about GLP-1R, a novel receptor in platelets; and the use of liraglutide in the treatment of obesity in women with PCOS.

Introduction: Insulin resistance (IR) and obesity coexist in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and contribute to increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. An intrinsic insulin signalling defect is present in skeletal muscle of PCOS and it...

Regulation of blood platelet function by nitric oxide (2013)
Thesis
Wake, J. D. (2013). Regulation of blood platelet function by nitric oxide. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214507

Upon vascular injury, platelets instantly adhere to the exposed extracellular matrix resulting in platelet activation and aggregation to form a haemostatic plug. This self-amplifying mechanism requires a tight control to prevent uncontrolled platelet... Read More about Regulation of blood platelet function by nitric oxide.

Background:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterised by increased rates of morbidity and mortality, much of which is related to cardiovascular disease. T2DM is considered to be a non-communicable disease, with its cause and aetiology linked...
