title: H2O2-induced platelet aggregation and increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration are blocked by inhibitors of intracellular signaling.
abstract: Inhibitors of signaling enzymes such as guanosine-5;-O-2-thiodiphosphate, aristolochic acid, aspirin, indomethacin, and trifluoperazine block H2O2-induced platelet aggregation and H2O2-induced increase in the intracellular concentration of Ca2+. These findings suggest that the effect of H2O2 on platelets is associated with activation of signal pathways responsible for increase in the concentration of intracellular Ca2+. On H2O2-induced platelet aggregation, the concentration of cAMP in the cytoplasm decreases and that of cGMP increases.
