  • Title: Endogenous hepoxilin A3, produced under short duration of high shear-stress, inhibits thrombin-induced aggregation in human platelets.
    Author: Margalit A, Granot Y.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1994 Feb 23; 1190(1):173-6. PubMed ID: 8110811.
    Abstract:
    The effect of short duration of shear-stress (350 dyne/cm2, 20 ms) on platelet-aggregation has been assessed. This treatment inhibits thrombin-induced but not ADP- or collagen-induced aggregation. The inhibitory effect is mediated by endogenous hepoxilin A3. This conclusion is based on the following observations: (a) The shear-stress effect is abolished by lipoxygenase inhibitors. (b) Hepoxilin A3 mimics the shear-stress effect.
