Abstract excerpt
The recent demonstration that platelets express a functional toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) prompted us to explore the influence of TLR4 polymorphisms (Asp299Gly alone or in combination with Thr399Ile) on thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) biosynthesis in vivo. In 17 subjects with TLR4 polymorphisms versus 1...
