Key result
Superoxide dismutase shows no effect on arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation in horses.
Why the study?
It was unclear whether exogenous superoxide dismutase alters equine platelet prostaglandin metabolism or arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation.
Does superoxide dismutase alter arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation in horses?
Population
Horses with platelet-rich plasma samples
Comparison
Superoxide dismutase administration or incubation vs baseline and aspirin in vitro

Does superoxide dismutase alter arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation in horses?
Superoxide dismutase does not alter the arachidonic acid pathway of equine platelets in vitro or ex vivo.
Clemmons et al. (1985) studied Equine platelet aggregation. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) was evaluated on Platelet aggregation in response to arachidonic acid. Superoxide dismutase administered to horses did not exert a demonstrable effect on arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation, either ex vivo or in vitro.
