Reduced vascular NO bioavailability in diabetes increases platelet activation in vivo.
OBJECTIVE Platelet activation is a feature of cardiovascular disease that is also characterized by endothelial dysfunction. The direct relationship between impaired endothelium-derived NO bioavailability and platelet activation remains unclear. We investigated whether acute inhibition of NO production modulates platelet activation in mice and whether specific rescue of endothelial function in d...
متن کاملThe critical roles of platelet activation and reduced NO bioavailability in fatal pulmonary arterial hypertension in a murine hemolysis model.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is suspected to be a strong mortality determinant of hemolytic disorders. However, direct contribution of acute intravascular hemolysis to fatal PAH has not been investigated. The roles of nitric oxide (NO) insufficiency and platelet activation in hemolysis-associated fatal PAH have been suspected but not been experimentally studied. We recently generated a...

متن کاملRosuvastatin reduces platelet activation in heart failure: role of NO bioavailability.
OBJECTIVES Endothelial dysfunction and platelet activation are part of the cardiovascular phenotype in congestive heart failure (CHF). We investigated whether 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibition would beneficially modulate vascular NO bioavailability and platelet activation in experimental CHF. METHODS AND RESULTS Chronic myocardial infarction was induced by c...
متن کاملReduced-nicotine cigarettes increase platelet activation in smokers in vivo: a dilemma in harm reduction.
Nicotine is a primary constituent of tobacco and smoke, and its roles in causing addiction and causing disease are commonly conflated. In the present work, we investigated whether nicotine protects smokers' platelets against smoke-induced activation in vivo, raising a possible dilemma in harm-reduction strategies. In vivo platelet activation state (PAS) was measured by fixing blood at drawing a...
