Suggests oxidant-mediated platelet activation when primed; hypothesis-generating for human thrombosis mechanisms.
Platelets primed with minute amounts of arachidonic acid or collagen can be activated in human whole blood by oxygen-reactive species released by polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Praticò et al. (1993) studied this question.
