Caffeic acid treatment alters the extracellular adenine nucleotide hydrolysis in platelets and lymphocytes of adult rats
► In platelets, caffeic acid altered the adenine nucleotides hydrolysis. ► Caffeic acid decreased the platelet aggregation in the doses of 10, 50 at 100mg/kg. ► Caffeic acid increased the NTPDase and adenosine deaminase activities in lymphocytes. ► The caffeic acid altered the purinergic signaling i...

Summary: | ► In platelets, caffeic acid altered the adenine nucleotides hydrolysis. ► Caffeic acid decreased the platelet aggregation in the doses of 10, 50 at 100mg/kg. ► Caffeic acid increased the NTPDase and adenosine deaminase activities in lymphocytes. ► The caffeic acid altered the purinergic signaling in the different cells.
This study evaluated the effects of caffeic acid on ectonucleotidase activities such as NTPDase (nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase), Ecto-NPP (nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase), 5′-nucleotidase and adenosine deaminase (ADA) in platelets and lymphocytes of rats, as well as in the profile of platelet aggregation. Animals were divided into five groups: I (control); II (oil); III (caffeic acid 10mg/kg); IV (caffeic acid 50mg/kg); and V (caffeic acid 100mg/kg). Animals were treated with caffeic acid diluted in oil for 30days. In platelets, caffeic acid decreased the ATP hydrolysis and increased ADP hydrolysis in groups III, IV and V when compared to control (P |
