Abstract
Thromboxane A2 was generated by incubation of arachidonic acid with a suspension of human platelets. The filtrate contained 266 +/- 46 ng/ml (n=10) of thromboxane A2 and 25 ng/ml or less of prostaglandin endoperoxides (prostaglandins G2+H2). Thromboxane A2 was 2-10 times more potent than prostaglandin H2 and 9-102 times and 26-308 times more potent than prostaglandins E2 and F2alpha, respectively, in causing contractions of the superfused swine coronary artery.Entities:
