INTRODUCTION: Platelet aggregation contributes to various thrombembolic disorders. Environmental factors affect platelet aggregability but only partially explain the interindividual variability in aggregation. While the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa is involved in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes whereas most platelet activating stimuli act via G Protein coupled receptors we investigated whether the...
