Thromboxane Activity Induction
Through increased production or release, or inhibited degradation, Thromboxane Activity Induction involves initiation of the biological function of widely distributed compounds formed by cyclooxygenase from polyunsaturated fatty acid prostaglandin endoperoxides (thromboxanes) and have a regulatory effect on platelet aggregation, contraction of arteries, and other biological effects.
