Abstract excerpt
Collagen induced aggregation, ATP secretion and thromboxane (TxB2) generation of storage pool deficient platelets were compared to normal platelets of closely related rat strains. Platelet function was monitored in citrated-platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) and citrated whole blood. Wistar (W) and fawn-hooded (FH) rat strains and their F2 hybrids were utilized. The W strain, which is ancestral to the FH strain, is not...
