Zontivity, known generically as vorapaxar, is the first of a new class of drugs called protease-activated receptor-1 antagonists. The drugs work by preventing blood platelets from clumping together to form a blood clot. Internal bleeding is a common side effect of blood thinning drugs, and Zontivity will carry a boxed warning that it can cause potentially deadly bleeding side effects.
However, in contrast to the studies of Steppan et al. in which impaired oral glucose tolerance induced by injection of recombinant resistin was associated with increased serum levels of resistin, the current studies demonstrate that transgenic expression of mouse resistin on the SHR background can impair oral glucose tolerance in the absence of detectable changes in circulating resistin.
