Descriptor tromboxanos
Entry term(s) tromboxano
Scope note: Compuestos fisiológicamente activos que se encuentran en muchos órganos del cuerpo. Se forman in vivo a partir de endoperóxidos prostaglandínicos y producen agregación plaquetaria, contracción arterial y otros efectos biológicos. Los tromboxanos son importantes mediadores de las acciones de los ácidos grasos polidesaturados transformados por la ciclooxigenasa.
