Abstract
The effect of short duration of shear-stress (350 dyne/cm2, 20 ms) on platelet-aggregation has been assessed. This treatment inhibits thrombin-induced but not ADP- or collagen-induced aggregation. The inhibitory effect is mediated by endogenous hepoxilin A3. This conclusion is based on the following observations: (a) The shear-stress effect is abolished by lipoxygenase inhibitors. (b) Hepoxilin A3 mimics the shear-stress effect.Entities:
