Abstract
The influence of hypoxia on the spontaneous platelet aggregation (SPA) and thromboxane formation was studied. The analysis of aggregation curve was carried out according to Breddin.
The hypoxia enhanced the aggregayility from Q2norm = 2.46 ±0.40 (normoxia) to Q2hyp = 4.39±0.39 (hypoxia), n = 52, p < 0.001. 10 samples of those showed no SPA under equilibration with air but the hypoxic stimulus provoked SPA (Q2norm = 0, Q2hyp = 1.19±60, n = 10, p < 0.001).
When the results were arranged according to the degree of the stimulation of SPA, two groups could be separated with low and high response to hypoxic.
The hypoxia caused also an augmentation of the TXB2 level in comparison to normoxia. The stronger enhancement of the TXB2 formation during the incubation under hypoxic conditions was independent of the fact whether SPA took place or not.
The present study suggests that hypoxic conditions alone may be a reason for a stimulated TXA2 formation of the platelets and that the enhanced TXA2 formation caused by hypoxic is possibly inducing or reinforcing the SPA.
