Anticoagulant activity, total and nonenzymatic fibrinolytic activity, and tissue plasminogen activator activity increased, while platelet aggregation and activity of factor XIIIa in rat blood plasma decreased over 3 h after single intranasal administration of proline-containing peptide Pro-Gly-Pro. Hemostatic parameters in rats 24 h after single administration of this peptide did not differ from the control level observed in animals receiving 0.85% NaCl.
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.
