Thrombin binding to platelets from hypercholesterolaemic rats
Abstract
Platelets from rats made hypercholesterolaemic with a diet enriched with milk fat and cholesterol and containing taurocholate to promote hypercholesterolaemia aggregated more extensively to a low concentration of thrombin than platelets from rats given a milk fat-enriched diet containing sitosterol. Total and specific binding of thrombin to platelets from hypercholesterolaemic rats was significantly greater than in controls when expressed per …
