Abstract
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is an endothelium-derived peptide with multiple functions affecting the cardiovascular, renal, neuroendocrine, pulmonary and gastrointestinal system1,2. Elevated plasma levels of ET-1 were found in diseases associated with the activation of platelets, e.g. myocardial infarction, disseminated intravascular coagulation and diabetes. These findings prompted us to investigate the ET-1 effect on platelet aggregation in human whole blood and in platelet rich plasma (PRP).
