Rumex acetosa modulates platelet function and inhibits thrombus formation in rats
Abstract
Rumex acetosa, used in medicinal treatment and food in Eastern Asia, was examined for antiplatelet activity. The extract markedly inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation and ATP release dose-dependently, suppressed intracellular calcium mobilisation and integrin activation, and attenuated MAPK and PI3K/Akt signalling, suggesting it may protect against platelet-related cardiovascular disease.
