Morphologic and Biochemical Features Affecting the Antithrombotic Properties of the Inferior Vena Cava of Rabbit Pups and Adult Rabbits
Abstract
The incidence of venous thromboembolic disease is reduced in children compared with adults. Thromboprotective mechanisms, some of which have already been identified in plasma, must be present in children. Blood vessel walls have important antithrombotic properties that maintain blood fluidity. This is in part due to proteoglycan (PG)-related glycosaminoglycan (GAG) molecules within vessel walls. PGs are macromolecules with covalently attached …
