Platelet aggregation was assessed by the method of G. Born modified as described by Z.A. Gabbasov. Blood viscosity was measured using an AKR-2 rotating-type viscometer - rheological blood analyzer at six shear rates (10 s-1, 20 s-1, 50 s-1, 100 s-1, 200 s-1, and 300 s-1) simulating different intensities of the blood flow through the vessels. The model of arterial thrombosis induced by electrical current was constructed based on the method of G. Guglielmi et al (1991). Gliclazide was used in the studies of Limiglidol antiaggregant and antithrombotic properties and pentoxifylline in the studies of the influence of Limiglidol on rheological blood properties. It was shown that Limiglidol inhibited platelet aggregation and prolonged the time of thrombus formation. It proved to be superior to gliclazide in terms of these activities and reduced blood viscosity to a higher degree than pentoxifylline.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
