Key result
Targeting platelet energy metabolism, including glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation, presents a potential therapeutic strategy for inhibiting platelet activation and arterial thrombosis.
Why the study?
Understanding the connection between metabolic changes and platelet activation state is an indispensable part of thrombosis treatment.
Understanding the metabolic flexibility and shifts in activated platelets provides potential new therapeutic targets for treating arterial thrombosis.

May support metabolic antithrombotic targets; leaves open clinical translation pending prospective trials.
Many human diseases are associated with hyperactivity of platelet metabolism. Understanding in detail the connection between metabolic changes and platelet activation state is an indispensable part of thrombosis treatment. This review describes changes in the energy metabolism of platelets during thrombosis and their potential molecular mechanisms. The metabolic flexibility of energy substrate selection in activated platelets is discussed briefly, along with strategies by which platelet activation and thrombosis formation can be blocked by targeting activated platelet metabolism.
