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.

The influence of oxidised low density lipoproteins on platelet activation (2013)
Thesis
Wraith, K. S. (2013). The influence of oxidised low density lipoproteins on platelet activation. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214678

The oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL) may contribute to platelet hyperactivity and thrombotic events in cardiovascular diseases. Although these pathological particles are known to stimulate platelet activation, the exact signalling mechanis...

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.
