Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains growth factors, which stimulate normal wound healing. This product seems to be a good modulator of white blood cells and has not been investigated in atherosclerosis. This study aimed to evaluate PRP in atherosclerosis using mice models. The PRP was produced from animals and preserved using the lyophilization technique; the product was then applied weekly in the vein. For atherosclerosis induction, genetically modified animals were fed a high-fat diet. The effectiveness was evaluated by measuring plasma inflammatory markers after treatment, and PRP seemed to alter cell-signaling molecules (cytokines). This study concluded that PRP was capable of modulating the inflammatory pattern during the early stages of atherosclerosis.
