Abstract
The observation of an enhanced platelet reactivity after infusion of prostacyclin in clinical studies [1] suggests the possibility that the administration of this compound might inhibit the endogenous release of prostacyclin and, consequently, result in hyperactive platelets. In order to explore this possibility, we have studied the effects of acute and chronic administration of Iloprost in the rat, on the release of 6-keto-PGF1α from in vitro perfused aortas.
