A laboratory study of spontaneous platelet aggregation.

During studies on platelet aggregation using the EEL platelet aggregation meter, 8% of the individuals tested were found to have platelets which aggregated spontaneously when citrated, platelet-rich plasma was stirred at 37 degrees C. The EEL aggregation meter differs from other machines in that it incorporates a vertical stirrer which subjects platelets to greater mechanical force. When using ...

Chylomicron-induced prothrombin activation and platelet aggregation.

The effects on platelet aggregation of native rat chyle chylomicrons, chylomicron remnants, and chylomicrons that had been preincubated with rat or human EDTA-plasma, serum, whole blood, or pure human prothrombin were examined. The native chyle chylomicrons did not induce platelet aggregation but decreased ADP- and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation and [14C]serotonin release. Chylomicron re...

Ligustrazine, allicin and shear-induced platelet aggregation.

Blood flow interacts with blood constituents and blood vessel under shear stress. Shear-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA) under high shear stress of stenosis has attracted research attention due to its involvement in vascular diseases, especially in life-threatening thrombosis. In SIPA, the calcium channel of platelet membrane can be activated by the interaction between plasma vWF and membran...
