A. Dmoszynska et al., LIPID-PEROXIDATION PRODUCTS AND CHANGES IN PHOSPHOLIPID-COMPOSITION INDUCED BY INDOBUFEN IN DIABETIC PLATELETS, Thrombosis research, 79(5-6), 1995, pp. 483-490
Indobufen is an antiaggregatory drug which first of all inhibits plate
let aggregation by interfering with cyclooxygenase enzymes in platelet
s. We have investigated the influence of indobufen (200 mg twice daily
for 10 days) on platelet lipid peroxidation and phospholipid metaboli
sm in diabetic patients. The production of lipid peroxidation products
was significantly lower after drug treatment. Indobufen administratio
n, however, had no influence on the fatty acid composition of platelet
phospholipids.
