Abstract excerpt
To determine whether platelets contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, we compared the severity of atherosclerosis in susceptible C57BL/6 mice carrying either a normal or a variant phenotype for platelet function. Five genetically distinct mutants with increased bleeding times and abnormal dense granules were used: maroon (ru-2mr), light ear (le), ruby eye (ru), beige (bg1), and pale ear (ep). After a...
