[Effect of ubiquinone-9 on the blood coagulation system]
Abstract:
The effect of a single and 2-week administration of ubiquinone-9 on the blood coagulation system and the functional activity of platelets was studied in the experiments in vitro and in vivo on rats. It was shown that a single dose of 150 mg/kg of ubiquinone decreased adhesion and that of 5 mg/kg decreased aggregation of platelets. Both with a single and 2-week drug administration in doses of 5, 50 and 150 mg/kg an insignificant decrease of coagulability was observed.

Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized, and...
Coagulation
During the coagulation phase, clotting factors, or procoagulants, play a vital role in initiating and progressing the coagulation cascade. This cascade is a series of reactions...
Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...
