These measurements, together with platelet aggregation studies, were performed on four occasions after double-blind randomized ingestion of placebo, methionine (0.1 mg/kg), vitamin C (2 g) and methionine...

... study. After a 30 min infusion of ⌊-NMMA or placebo, NO inhalation (30 p.p.m) was added during the remaining 30 min of infusion, on both occasions. Measurements included filtragometry ex vivo (reflecting platelet aggregability), flow-cytometric evaluation of platelets in whole blood (fibrinogen binding...

... if inhaled nitric oxide influences platelet function in vivo in healthy subjects. 2. Platelet aggregability (filtragometry ex vivo , which reflects aggregability in vivo ), bleeding time and platelet secretion products and cGMP in plasma were studied during inhalation of two different doses of nitric oxide...

The impact of oral acetylsalicylic acid treatment on the enhancing effect of adrenaline on platelet aggregation in vitro was investigated in patients with stable angina pectoris. In addition, the influence of different anticoagulants...

... (0.05–0.1 μmol/l) was used to reduce the filter occlusion time ( t A , a measure of platelet aggregate formation in blood) from approximately 600 s to 71–101 s in the absence of other agents. 3. Adenosine was infused into the tubing system of the filtragometer, yielding a contact time of >25 s...

... on the response of platelets to sodium arachidonate. 4. These results indicate that intraplatelet arginine vasopressin is released during aggregation and suggest that a local release of arginine vasopressin could occur after complete platelet aggregation in vivo. 24 7 1989 14 8 1989 © 1990...

...R. K. McCulloch; J. Summers; R. Vandongen; I. L. Rouse 1. At present it is unclear whether platelet-activating-factor (PAF)-induced aggregation is mediated by thromboxane. To obtain further information about this event we have compared the affects of aspirin on platelet aggregation and secretion...

Thromboxane synthesis and platelet aggregation responses to sodium arachidonate, thrombin and the ionophore A23187 were also investigated. 2. A marked increase in the relative EPA content of phosphatidylcholine (PC...
