Abstract excerpt
Considering that platelet response to thrombin receptor activation might be critical for the development of arterial thrombosis, we measured the dense granule release under stimulation by the thrombin receptor activating peptide (TRAP) in a series of 102 healthy volunteers. The threshold TRAP concentration which initiated a secretion ranged from 3 to 20 microM. A good concordance (79%, k=0.677) between two tests...
