44 Helicobacter pylori infection causes persistent platelet activation in vivo through enhanced lipid peroxidation
Abstract:Objective-We aimed at investigating the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and in vivo lipid peroxidation and platelet activation, as reflected by urinary 8-iso-prostaglandin (PG)F 2␣ and 11-dehydro-thromboxane (TX)B 2 , respectively, in otherwise healthy dyspeptic subjects. Methods and Results-We measured urinary 8-iso-PGF 2␣ and 11-dehydro-TXB 2 excretion in 40 dyspeptic subjects with a positive 13 C-urea breath test and 38 dyspeptic individuals with a negative test. Moreover, we investigated… Show more
