| 1 | We observed that insulin at concentration in the range 0.25-2 nmol/L decreases platelet response to adenosine 5-diphosphate (ADP), being Effective Dose 50 (ED50) for ADP with 2 nmol/L insulin 164 +/- 15% of the basal value, p = 0.005; furthermore, insulin increases intraplatelet content of cGMP (from basal 7.3 +/-0.6 pmol/10(9) plts to 14.6 +/- 1.2 pmol/10(9) plts with 2 nmol/L insulin, p=0.0001) and does not affect the platelet cGMP increase induced by nitrates. | Nitrates | insulin | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | On the contrary, at very elevated concentrations (25-200 nmol/L) insulin increases platelet aggregation to ADP (ADP ED50 with 200 nmol/L insulin being 81 +/- 4% of the basal value, p = 0.01), decreases intraplatelet content of cGMP (from basal 7.2 +/- 0.1 pmol/10(9) plts to 5.7 +/- 0.2 pmol/10(9) plts with 200 nmol/L insulin, p = 0.01) and attenuates the platelet cGMP increase induced by nitrates. | Nitrates | insulin | Homo sapiens |
