In vivo modulation of platelet deposition on human atherosclerotic lesions by various antiaggregatory prostaglandins.
    Folia haematologica (Leipzig, Germany : 1928), 1988, Volume: 115, Issue:4

    The influence of intravenous infusions of various prostaglandins on in vivo platelet function was studied after labelling of autologous platelets with 100 mu ci 111 indium-oxinesulfate in patients with peripheral vascular disease stage II according to FONTAINE. PGI2 (5 ng/kg/min) provoked a significant decrease of platelet deposition and a prolongation in platelet half-life time (74 +/- 6 vs 68 +/- 5 hours). PGE1 (25 ng/kg/min) failed to influence platelet deposition, but prolonged significantly platelet half-life time (82 +/- 6 vs 76 +/- 8 hours). CG 4203 (25 ng/kg/min) decreased significantly platelet deposition and prolonged significantly platelet half-life time (73 +/- 10 vs 67 +/- 11 hours). Iloprost (1 and 2 ng/kg/min) reduced significantly platelet deposition without dose relation. Half-life time was increased significantly after therapy compared to placebo (1 ng: 76 +/- 7 vs 69 +/- 7; 2 ng: 73 +/- 9 vs 67 +/- 9 hours).
