title: Inhibition of adenosine diphosphate-induced intravascular aggregation of rat platelets in vivo by 6-oxo-prostaglandin E1.
abstract: The antiaggregatory effects of 6-oxo-PGE1 were evaluated in vivo in the rat using a minimally invasive technique involving 111-Indium labelling of platelets. The antiaggregatory effects on adenosine diphosphate-induced aggregation were compared with those of prostacyclin (PGI2) and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) following slow infusions and bolus injections. The rank order of antiaggregatory potency was PGI2 greater than 6-oxo-PGE1 greater than PGE1 while the rank order of duration of antiaggregatory effects was PGE1 greater than 6-oxo-PGE1 greater than PGI2. The kinetics of the antiaggregatory effects of these prostaglandins suggests that such actions are not mediated by direct effects on platelets, but through a secondary mechanism.
