The change of urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 and 2,3-dinor-6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha in arteriogenic impotence.

Chronic Diseases, Erectile Dysfunction

“Our findings suggest that urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxane B₂ may have an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of arteriogenic impotence.”

Changes of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and prostacyclin (PGI2) in COPD patients with pulmonary hypertension

1991 | Chin J Integr Med | Clinical Research | Humans | 30 Patients/10 Subjects

Chronic Diseases, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

"We measured the pulmonary arterial pressure and the level of Thromboxane A₂(TXA₂), and Prostacyclin (PGI2) in 30 stable COPD patients and the level of TXA₂ and PGI2 in 10 normal subjects so as to investigate the changes of TXA2 and PGI2 in COPD patients with pulmonary hypertension."

“The results showed that the level of TXA2 increased significantly in COPD patients with dominant and latent pulmonary hypertension when compared with that in normal subjects.”

Thromboxane biosynthesis and platelet function in type II diabetes mellitus

Aspirin, Chronic Diseases, Diabetes

“Tight metabolic control achieved with insulin therapy reduced the levels of 11-dehydro-thromboxane B₂by approximately 50 percent.”

“Aspirin in low doses (50 mg per day for seven days) reduced urinary excretion of the metabolite by approximately 80 percent in four patients.”
