Figure 2From: The effects of gaseous nitric oxide on platelets and leukocytes in membrane oxygenatorsActivated GPIIb-IIIa on platelets stimulated with 10 µM ADP (A), 10 µM epinephrine (EPI) (B), or 5 µM ADP + 5 µM EPI (C) at different timepoints. Note the time-dependent loss of reactivity to stimulating agents in both membrane systems, however, gaseous NO preserved reagibility, demonstrating the protective effect of NO on platelets (*P < 0.05, paired t-test).Back to article page
