Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prostacyclin, also known as PGI2, is a potent vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet aggregation. It works by binding to the prostacyclin receptor on platelets and inhibiting their activation and aggregation, thereby preventing the formation of blood clots. Prostacyclin also has vasodilatory effects, which can help to improve blood flow and decrease blood pressure. It does not have any significant vasoconstrictive effects or effects on clot retraction.
