THE EFFECTS OF SODIUM FERULATE,TETRAMETHYLPYRAZINE, PROSTAGLANDIN E_1 AND PROSTACYCLIN ON PLATELET AGGREGATION INDUCED BY THE VENOM OF TRIMERESURUS MUCROSQUAMATUS IN RATS
The platelet aggregation induced by the venom of Trimeresurus macros-qamatus (TMVA) was estimated by turbidimetric method in rats. TMVA at the concentration of 0.5ug/ml elicited platelet aggregation. The ratio of aggregation may be 80% more or less when TMVA was used at the concentration of 20-50 ug/ml. All the aggregations induced by TMVA were irreversible.
Sodium ferulate and PGE1 showed no significant effect on the aggregation induced by the lower concentration ( 5 ug/ml) of TMVA, while prostacy...
