Animal platelet data suggest aggregation-dependent TXB2 effects; leaves open translation to human platelet function or clinical antiplatelet strategies.
Does elevation of cyclic AMP levels inhibit arachidonic acid release and thromboxane biosynthesis in human platelets?
The study clarifies that cyclic AMP inhibits thromboxane biosynthesis in human platelets indirectly by inhibiting platelet aggregation rather than directly inhibiting prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase.
Lindgren et al. (1979) studied this question.
