ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate the effect of nicotinyl salicylic acid(NSA) on rabbit platelet aggregation induced by Collagen,ADP and AA.Methods Platelet aggregation induced by collagen,adenosine diphosphate(ADP) or arachidonic acid(AA) was studied with turbidimetry in rabbtis blood,in vitro and vivo.Results NSA significantly inhibited the platelet aggregation induced by Collagen and ADP,in vitro and vivo.The inhibition by NSA was dose-dependent.NSA had no effect on the platelet aggregation induced by AA.Conclusion NSA can inhibit rabbit platelet aggregation induced by Collagen and ADP.
ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate the preventive effect of nicotinylsalicylic acid(NSA) on experimental atherosclerosis in high cholesterol-fed quails. Methods Ninety one male quails were randomly divided into six groups:groupⅠ,normal control;groupⅡ,model control;group Ⅲ, NSA 150 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1); group Ⅳ, NSA 300 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1); groupⅤ, the nicotinic acid 75 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1) and the acetylsalicylic acid 75 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1); groupⅥ, the nicotinic acid 150 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1). The levels of TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C and MDA in serum were measured with biochemical method(0,4,8 wks). All of the quails were killed after 8 wks. Variables observed included aorta pathologic changed, TC and TG contents and the heart pathologic changes. Results The experimental data indicated that the high cholesterol-feeding increased the level of TC,TG,LDL-C and MDA,decreased the level of HDL-C in serum, aortic wall have obvious atherosclerosis. Data of the study demonstrated that the level of TC,TG,LDL-C and MDA were decreased,the level of HDL-C were increased by NSA in the high cholesterol-fed quails,aortic wall TC,TG were decreased by NSA,and atherosclerosis was regressed in aortic wall. Conclusion NSA has preventive effect on the experimental atherosclerosis among the high cholesterol-fed quails.
