Abstract excerpt
The present study was designed to elucidate the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38) in thrombus formation. We used p38alpha heterozygous (p38alpha+/-) mice and used ferric chloride (FeCl3)-induced carotid artery injury as a model of thrombus formation. The time to thrombotic occlusion induced by FeCl3 in p38alpha+/- mice was prolonged compared to that in wild-type (WT) mice. Platelets prepared from...
