  • Title: Aspirin at therapeutic concentrations does not affect 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake by platelets.
    Author: Drummond AH, MacIntyre DE, Olverman HJ.
    Journal: Br J Pharmacol; 1977 Apr; 59(4):661-2. PubMed ID: 858010.
    Abstract:
    Aspirin at therapeutic concentrations does not inhibit the uptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) by blood platelets nor induce release of 5-HT from platelets, although platelet aggregation responses to collagen and arachidonic acid (which are dependent on platelet prostaglandin synthesis) are abolished. This does not support an earlier claim that aspirin's effects on platelet function include inhibition of 5-HT transport.
