Enhanced platelet turnover and prostaglandin production in spontaneously hypertensive rats
Thrombosis Research
|August 1, 1982
Abstract:
The anti-hypertensive effect of ketanserin, a selective 5-HT2 antagonist, both in experimental and human pathology (1,2) could implicate the blood platelets as a source for peripherally available 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), acting to increase peripheral vascular resistance (3). Therefore we examined various blood platelet parameters in spontaneously hypertensive rats in comparison with normotensive Wistar rats.
