May elucidate PAF-mediated platelet changes in endotoxemia; hypothesis-generating and requires human validation before any clinical consideration.
Does endotoxic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) alter platelet shape change in whole blood compared to platelet-rich plasma?
LPS induces platelet shape change in whole blood via a PAF-dependent mechanism, providing insight into septicaemia-associated thrombotic events.
Nyström et al. (1994) studied this question.
