A cooperation between leukocytes and platelets relative to metabolism of arachidonic acid has been observed in animal studies. To determine potential stimulatory effects of leukotrienes (LTs) on human platelets, LTs were incubated with platelet rich plasma followed by addition of subthreshold concentration of aggregatory stimulus. LTs (LTE4 LTD4 LTC4) alone had no direct effect on platelet aggregation, but potentiated the effects of subthreshold concentrations of epinephrine and thrombin and… CONTINUE READING
