“ TPO did not change myocardial contractility in basal conditions, but, when followed by epinephrine (EPI) stimulation, it blunted the enhancement of contractile force induced by EPI both in papillary muscle and isolated heart.”
“However, aggregation induced by 3 μM ADP or 16 μM epinephrine showed significantly less augmentation by thrombopoietin in the MPD group than in the control group.”
“Preincubation with thrombopoietin significantly enhanced platelet aggregation stimulated by ADP, collagen, or epinephrine in the MPD group as well as the control group.”
“ Thrombopoietin significantly shortened the lag time between the addition of 3 μM ADP or 16 μM epinephrine and initiation of secondary aggregation and the lag time between addition of 2 μg/ml collagen and initiation of aggregation in both groups.”
