title: Cinnamtannin B-1 from bay wood reduces abnormal intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis and platelet hyperaggregability in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
abstract: Type 2 diabetes mellitus induces a number of cardiovascular disorders, including platelet hyperactivity and hyperaggregability, which is associated to an increased oxidant production and abnormal cytosolic Ca2+ mobilization. In the present study, we have investigated the effect of cinnamtannin B-1 obtained from bay wood on oxidants production, Ca2+ mobilization and aggregation in platelets from type 2 diabetic donors. Pretreatment of platelets with cinnamtannin B-1 reversed the enhanced oxidants production and Ca2+ mobilization, including Ca2+ entry, evoked by thapsigargin plus ionomycin or thrombin, observed in platelets from diabetic subjects, so that in the presence of cinnamtannin B-1 Ca2+ entry was similar in platelets from healthy and diabetic subjects. In addition, cinnamtannin B-1 reduced thrombin-induced aggregation in platelets from type 2 diabetic subjects. We conclude that cinnamtannin B-1 exerts an effective antioxidant action in platelets from patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and reverses the enhanced Ca2+ mobilization and hyperaggregability.
