IRIS – Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è il sistema di gestione della ricerca dell’Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca.Il repository BOA è il modulo del sistema dedicato alla raccolta e alla disseminazione della produzione scientifica di Ateneo. Le pubblicazioni sono ricercabili per parola chiave attraverso il box nella barra orizzontale in alto oppure, mediante il pulsante Sfoglia, per "Afferenza", "Autore", "Titolo", "Tipologia" o "Settore scientifico-disciplinare".
IRIS contiene inoltre alcuni moduli dedicati alla registrazione dei progetti e dei contratti, e alla reportistica avanzata per le attività di valutazione della ricerca
EnglishBackground: Platelets play a central role in atherothrombosis, which is responsible of major cardiovascular complications in human hypertension. Nitric oxide (NO) inhibits platelet aggregation via the second messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). In essential hypertensives (EHs), we examined the relationship between platelet cGMP and clinical, hemodynamic, humoral variables as well as the responses to aggregating agents. Methods: In untreated EHs (male/female 106/43, age 44.4 1.1 years, smokers yes/no 38/111), blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and stroke volume (SV) (impedance cardiography) were assessed after supine rest and venous blood was sampled for platelet cGMP (radioimmunoassay on acid extracts of washed platelets), plasma cGMP, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), renin activity, aldosterone and platelet aggregation to epinephrine (EPI, 5 νmol/l), and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (4 νmol/l) (optical aggregometry on platelet-rich plasma (PRP)). Results: Platelet cGMP (7.0 0.3 pmol/10 9 cells, mean s.e.m.) was lower in males and smokers than in their counterparts (P 0.01 for both). Among the variables tested, platelet cGMP was related to number of cigarettes (0.21), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) (r = 0.32), aldosterone (r = 0.21), and hemoglobin (0.16); in a multivariate analysis that also included sex, HDLc was the best predictor of platelet cGMP. The aggregating response to EPI (r = 0.28), but not to ADP (r = 0.07, ns), was inversely related to platelet cGMP levels. Conclusions: cGMP in resting platelets of EHs is positively predicted by HDLc and is inversely related to the aggregating response to EPI. It is suggested that a defect of the platelet NO/cGMP system could identify uncomplicated EHs at higher risk of thrombotic events during surges of sympathetic activity. © 2009 American Journal of Hypertension, Ltd.
