Increased dipeptidyl peptidase-4 accelerates chronic stress-related thrombosis in a mouse carotid artery model
Conclusion:
DPP-4 inhibition appeared to improve the FeCl3-induced thrombosis in mice that received stress, possibly via the improvement of ADAMTS13 and oxidative stress, suggesting that DPP-4 could become a novel therapeutic target for chronic psychological stress-related thrombotic events in metabolic cardiovascular disorders.
