| Vasodilatory |
| Relaxation of vascular smooth muscle |
| Decreased expression of endothelin-1 and endothelin receptor |
| Anti-adhesive |
| Decreased endothelial expression of adhesion molecules |
| Anti-thrombotic |
| Decreased platelet activation |
| Decreased tissue factor activity |
| Decreased thrombin generation |
| Anti-oxidant |
| Inactivation of reactive oxygen species |
