Does prostacyclin inhibit platelet adhesion and thrombus formation on subendothelium?
Prostacyclin (PGI2) inhibits platelet adhesion and thrombus formation on vascular subendothelium, suggesting a regulatory role in platelet deposition on vascular surfaces.
Weiss et al. (1979) studied this question.
