Both ethanol and water extracts of unossified velvet antler were found to exhibit a significant immuno-stimulating activity as measured by carbon clearance test in mice, a remarkable anti-fatigue effect in weight-loaded forced swimming performance in mice, a significant anti-stress effect on immobilization in rats. The antler extracts also showed a weak but significant anti-thrombotic activity. These findings are indicative of adaptogenic properties of antlers and their normalizing effects during stressful condition.

Sulfated fucans are known to have both anti-thrombotic and anti-coagulant activities. In this study, the variation in platelet aggregation and anti-coagulant activities was investigated in vitro with regard to administered dose, molecular weight distribution, sulfate content, and sugar composition in two algal fucoidans from Eisenia bicyclis and Undaria pinnatifida sporophylls (Mekabu). The anti-coagulant activity largely correlated with sulfate content and with molecular weight distribution in a dose-dependent manner. However, both fucoidans demonstrated inhibitory responses to ADP-induced platelet aggregation in dose- and structure-dependent manners that contrasted with the anti-coagulant activity. Neither molecular weight distribution nor sulfate content greatly affected platelet-aggregation inhibition (PA-inhibition) by the fucoidan fractions, whereas anti-coagulant activity was sensitive to these structural factors. Interestingly, an E. bicyclis fucoidan fraction exhibited almost complete PA-inhibition at a treatment dose of 500 mg/mL while retaining weak anti-coagulant activity. In conclusion, these observations suggest that fucoidan may be a useful anti-thrombotic or anti-platelet agent in various arterial thrombotic disorders, including post-vascular intervention with controlled bleeding complications, due to its anti-coagulant modulating activity.

Objectives: Formulas for treatment of yin or yang deficiency conditions have been commonly used in traditional Korean medicine. The aim of this study is to examine the possible inhibitory effects of yin- or yang-tonifying formulas on in vivo anti-platelet activity and in vivo anti-thrombotic activity. Methods: We tested the effects of 26 types of yin- or yang-tonifying formulas on platelet aggregation induced by collagen in human whole blood using the impedance method of aggregometry and accessed a biomarker of platelet activation using thromboxane $B_2$ immunoassay. We also tested the anti-thrombotic effects of effective candidates on experimental models of thrombosis in mice. Results: 3 types of yin-tonifying formulas and 3 types of yin-yang-tonifying formulas were selected to be the most effective candidates (p<0.01). Also, through in vivo study, the antithrombotic activities of Igyeong-tang, Gamisipjeondaebo-tang, and Gamisoyo-san-treated groups, with recovery rate of 60, 50, and 45.45%, respectively, were observed to be higher than those of the control group (saline, 36.8%) in mouse acute thrombosis. Conclusion: These results show that yin-tonifying formulas are more effective in anti-platelet and anti-thrombotic activity than yang-tonifying formulas.

Tissue factor (TF) is a cell surface receptor of coagulation factor Ⅶ and is the principal initiator of the vertebrate coagulation cascade. TF is found in high levels in some organs such as brain, lung and placenta, whereas blood monocytes, endothelial cells contain only trivial amount of TF when quiescent, and is stimulated to synthesize TF by infections or vascular lesions. TF is reported to be found in high levels in atherosclerotic plaques, cancer cells. TF activation in various cells in many infectious or immunologic diseases tells us the physiologic importance of TF. We screened many edible vegetables for TF inhibitor, by measuring the prothrombin time to detect the TF activity, and we picked Aster scaber to isolate the TF inhibitory substance. Aster scaber showed two kinds of anti thrombotic activity, one is TF inhibition and the other is elongation of plasma recalcification time. The anti thrombotic substances were found to be saponins which has echinocystic acid as aglycone.
