The mean rate of entry of endogenous TxB2 into the circulation was calculated as 0.11 ng/kg x min, corresponding to a maximal estimate of the plasma concentration of endogenous TxB2 of 2.0 pg/ml.

Overview

Plasma TxB2 assays likely overestimate endogenous levels via ex vivo activation; leaves open validity of prior thromboxane measurements in cardiovascular research.

Structured PICO

P
Population
4 healthy male volunteers
I
Intervention
6-h i.v. infusions of TxB2 at 0.1, 1.0, and 5.0 ng/kg x min, pretreated with aspirin 325 mg/d
C
Comparator
6-h i.v. infusion of vehicle alone
O
Outcome
Urinary excretion of 2,3-dinor-TxB2 and estimated rate of entry of endogenous TxB2 into the circulationsurrogate

This physiological study provides an estimate of endogenous thromboxane release and suggests that ex vivo platelet activation confounds estimates based on plasma TxB2.
