Key result
Endogenous NO and exogenous NO donors exerted an antithrombotic effect in vivo through direct suppression of platelet aggregation, while eNOS primarily regulated vascular components of thrombosis.
Why the study?
Does NO and eNOS regulation affect vascular and platelet activity during thrombosis in a mouse model?
Population
Anaesthetised mice (including wild-type and eNOS-/- models)
Comparison
Acute NOS inhibition, NO donor administration… vs Control conditions
Design
Preclinical

Differential NO vs eNOS effects in murine thrombosis caution against direct human extrapolation; leaves open distinct platelet-vascular targeting.

Moore et al. (2010) studied Thrombosis. NOS inhibition and NO donors vs. Control / wild-type was evaluated on Platelet aggregation and cardiac haemodynamic function. Endogenous NO and exogenous NO donors exerted an antithrombotic effect in vivo through direct suppression of platelet aggregation, while eNOS primarily regulated vascular components of thrombosis.
